Current volunteering opportunities

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with the Broads Authority. Please find current opportunities below.

Volunteer Action Days

Volunteer Action Days are a great way to try out volunteering with the Broads Authority for just one day. We run a number of these days throughout the year.

You could find yourself out in the Broads reedbeds carrying out vegetation management tasks to improve habitat for wildlife, cutting small trees, mowing and raking vegetation or at a wildlife park carrying out footpath and vegetation management tasks, clearing bramble and undergrowth.

We currently have a selection of dates to get involved during October and November at Reedham Marshes and Whitlingham Marsh.

Places are limited so make sure you book your spot and do your bit to help care for our precious Broads National Park.

Education Volunteer Opportunities

Would you like to join our small team of Education Volunteers who assist our Education Officer in delivering outdoor environmental education sessions to young students in the Broads National Park? We are looking for good communicators who feel they can inspire a new generation of young people to care for the environment.

Groups are primary school age through to young adult and include children not in mainstream education. Practical activities may include pond dipping, leading environmental games, practical conservation activities, helping with bush craft, geocaching and map work activities.

If this sounds like something you’d like to do, please read the Education Volunteer Role Description (PDF) and apply using the following link: https://bttr.im/w16ch
