Our Working Groups help us to look after our wonderful sites across the UK. Carrying out a variety of practical tasks under the guidance of the Woodland Trust Site Manager, the Working Groups keep our sites looking great, keep our pathways accessible, and help us manage the woodland in line with our management plans.

A great way to learn skills and meet new people, our Working Groups also directly contribute to the care and upkeep of valuable habitats.

Tasks include clearing glades for wildflowers, coppicing, small tree felling, removing invasive plants and clearing paths.
