Volunteer with us
Volunteer at Belle Isle Community Tree Nursery
We are working to establish a new Community Tree Nursery in Belle Isle, South Leeds.
We will be running weekly volunteer sessions (days and times tbc) for the general public, and in particular local residents in Belle Isle. Our goal is to work collaboratively with the community to create a space for growing fruit trees, skill and knowledge sharing, socialising, and more!
There’s lots to get involved with including: preparing the site, building structures, digging, planting, weeding, mulching etc. Everyone is welcome, from beginners to expert fruit tree growers.
If you are interested in being involved, contact Gini at gini@fruitworks.org.uk
Volunteer at our tree nursery in East Keswick
We run monthly volunteer sessions at our beautiful fruit tree nursery near East Keswick (lifts often available). Dates for upcoming sessions can be viewed here. Our goal is to offer a fun day with varied tasks that allows you to learn the ins and outs of growing young fruit trees on a small scale without chemical inputs.
It’s also a chance to:
Connect with like-minded people
Get good physical exercise
Learn and share fruit growing skills
Enjoy a home cooked lunch together
To sign up as a new volunteer, please fill out this volunteer registration form. Then register your attendance for the volunteer day on Ticket Tailor.
Corporate Volunteering
We also work with corporate groups. With a wholesome day outdoors in a beautiful setting, we offer a fun team-building experience that makes a real difference by helping us bring more locally and responsibly grown fruit trees into our local area.
Tasks may include weeding, mulching (wheelbarrowing and spreading woodchip), planting, digging, mowing, and much more!
Please get in touch to enquire about corporate volunteering and team-building opportunities.
