Our Conservation Volunteers help us maintain the varied habitats and rich biodiversity within the 40‑acre nature reserve at Denmark Farm Conservation Centre.
Volunteers support practical habitat management, learn new skills, and contribute directly to wildlife conservation. This role is ideal for anyone who enjoys being outdoors, wants to learn about nature, and is keen to make a positive difference for wildlife.
Regular volunteer sessions take place fortnightly on Wednesdays from 10am to 3pm, but other times may be arranged depending on need. You can join us for a full day, or half a day, and can volunteer fortnightly, or occasionally.
All sessions are held at Denmark Farm Conservation Centre, Betws Bledrws, Lampeter, SA48 8PB.
Our next sessions are:
Wednesday 13 May
Wednesday 27 May
Wednesday 3 June

Saturday 27 June (BioBlitz)
