Weekly Work Parties
Our Volunteer Work Parties are a great way to start practical volunteering. Meet new people, learn a skill and enjoy the wonderful scenery and wildlife of Durlston, while helping protect it.
Tasks are available for all ages and abilities, with equipment and training provided. Just come along to the Learning Centre for a 10am start. We have a break at 11.30 and the session ends at 1pm. Tea, coffee and occasional cake provided!
Tuesdays: Pleasure Grounds Project: Enhance the heritage, accessibility, and habitats throughout the Victorian landscape of the park.
Wednesdays: Reserve Conservation: Help care for our stunning National Nature Reserve. Habitat management, scrub cutting, path clearing, hedge-laying, fencing, and more!
Thursdays: Dry-stone Walling: Volunteers help maintain over six miles of dry-stone wall across the Country Park. We welcome new walling volunteers to get started with a training session held once per month. Please email durlston@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk for details.
