Get hands-on with conservation at Warren Hill! Help create valuable wildlife habitats and support nature recovery across the Wilder Horsham.

Conservation Work Party at Warren Hill, Washington (18–25 years)

⏰ When: Tuesday 24th November | 10am - 3pm

📍 Location: National Trust's Warren Hill, Washington, West Sussex

🌿 A joint work party organised by Wild Future and Wilder Horsham District.

Join us for a hands-on conservation work party at the National Trust's Warren Hill site in Washington, working together to improve habitats and support wildlife across the Wilder Horsham District.

Warren Hill is part of one of Wilder Horsham District's priority areas, helping to connect important wildlife habitats between Pulborough and Storrington.

We'll be getting stuck into some practical conservation tasks to improve the site for wildlife, including:

• Scrub clearance: Removing encroaching scrub and small trees using tree poppers and mattocks.
• Creating dead hedges: Carrying and stacking cut branches and brash to create natural barriers that provide shelter and habitat for wildlife.
• Creating wetland habitats: Using spades and shovels to create shallow scrapes for water to collect.

Whether you're passionate about conservation, interested in learning new skills or simply enjoy getting outdoors and making a difference, this is a great opportunity to get hands-on, meet like-minded people and help nature thrive.

No prior knowledge or experience is needed – just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to get stuck in! Everyone is welcome.

What to bring:

• Lunch and plenty of drinking water
• A flask with a hot drink (if desired)
• Sturdy walking boots with ankle support (wellies if wet)
• Waterproof jacket and trousers
• A long-sleeved top to protect your arms
• A hat suitable for the weather

🧤 Tools & Equipment: All tools and PPE will be provided. You're welcome to bring your own work gloves and/or protective goggles if you prefer.
