Events
Practical days, walks and campaigns — there's always something on.
What's coming up
Once a month, rain or shine
Our practical volunteer days run every month across the county, and the job changes with the seasons — hedgelaying in winter, pond work in autumn, scrub clearance when the birds aren't nesting. Around those we run guided wildlife walks, landowner open days and the odd campaign push when Dorset's wild places need a louder voice.
A year in events
Follow a site through the seasons and you'll meet most of what we run.
Winter — hedgelaying
The classic practical day: laying hedges the traditional way while the sap is down.
Spring — walks & campaigns
Guided wildlife walks as everything wakes up, plus campaign events for the places under pressure.
Summer — surveys
Butterfly and wildflower counts on restored sites — gentle days, big findings.
Autumn — pond work
Digging and restoring ponds while water levels are kind, ready for frogs by spring.
