Volunteering Opportunities
Get involved and help support CAT's vision of a sustainable future, learn valuable skills and meet a diverse range of motivated and engaging volunteers, students, staff and visitors.
Most of our volunteers join the estates department, working in either the woods and water team or the gardens team, and you can see more information about these roles below.
However, if you have particular skills you’d like to offer to CAT, we’d be delighted to consider applications for other departments. For example, previous volunteers have worked in digital media, marketing, fundraising, visitor engagement, mail order, and short courses.
Gardens Volunteer
Come and live and breath sustainability. While here you'll get the chance to work with and learning from our wonderful gardens team, meet a host of inspiring and interesting and become an integral part of what CAT does.
Woodlands and Water
Explore woodland management, learn valuable skills and have fun working alongside our woodlands and water team to help manage our woodlands, water and sanitation systems and make improvements around the site using our natural resources.
What our previous volunteers have said
As someone who has a degree in Ecology from many years ago but no practical experience to back it up, I am sure that my six months at CAT will really put me back in touch with my love for the environment and demonstrate to future employers my commitment to it.
Joe Wogden – Woodland Volunteer
The CAT staff and volunteers really believe in what they are doing - something you don’t find in many work places. It’s a really inspiring place. A springboard for so many people in so many ways, that’s why so many volunteers wish they could stay.
