Volunteer with Purpose at Orchard Barn
At
Orchard Barn, volunteering is more than just lending a hand - it's
about becoming part of a thriving community that cares for people,
place and planet. This winter we invite you to join us in the old
orchard - creating more deadwood screens and biodiversity habitat.
Learn, Connect, Restore
There is also the opportunity to receive free training in traditional carpentry and greenwood working
Learn how to use a pole lathe to turn greenwood into spindles for the completion of our new Education Room in the Long House.
Help us Build a Low-Carbon Learning Space
By
helping us finish the Education Room, you're not just building a
structure - you're helping create a space for environmental education,
community gatherings and heritage skill-sharing.
Whether
you're interested in traditional building, nature conservation, or just
want to be part of something bigger, there's a place for you here.
Not sure if it's for you?
We
offer a friendly half-day Taster Session so you can come along, try it
out, and see what it's like to be part of Orchard Barn life.
Get involved. Get inspired. Grow with us.


It
is the time, energy and expertise of local volunteers that underpins
and supports everything we do at Orchard Barn - from conservation
projects in our
traditional orchard, work on and around the barn, to helping to
reinstate our 1580 timber frame Long House. Read our 21-22 Annual Report to find out who,
how and what volunteers achieved.
