Wild Work Days

As a charity, we need to work in ways that make us sustainable. The cost of your Wild Work Day funds staff costs to plan and deliver your day, the purchase of personal protective equipment and tools as well a supporting our conservation work on our 7 urban nature reserves.

A maximum of 12 people can attend a Wild Work Day. This is due to our health and safety policy, the level of supervision we can provide and to ensure we have sufficient tools for the activities. On occasions in Autumn and Winter, we can host groups of up to 24 people on some of our larger nature reserves in Birmingham. We can very occasionally host groups of up to 30 people.

You can enquire about a specific site when booking, but we cannot guarantee this as certain sites get booked quickly for more public-facing volunteer sessions or they may not offer diverse work at that time of the year.

The activity will vary depending on the time of year and the reserve/habitat you choose for your Wild Work Day. 

Wild Work Days are typically form 10:00 -15:00 with a 45 minute lunch. We can however be somewhat flexible on this, please ask in your enquiry.

You must wear sturdy footwear (preferably boots) and clothing suitable for the weather that you don't mind getting wet and muddy. We recommend bringing a waterproof coat and wearing a long sleeve top and trousers as you may be working in tall vegetation which could sting or cut you.

We recommend bringing a packed lunch and plenty of water as you may be some distance from a café or shop. We will supply all the tools, personal protective equipment and first aid supplies. We also offer basic refreshments (water, tea and coffee) on the day.  We do not tend to supply lunch, unless specifically requested in advance. There is an additional cost of £70 per group of 12 for lunch to be provided.
