Lesnes Abbey Wood is home to some beautiful landscaped gardens. We rely on the help of our volunteers to help keep the gardens well maintained and tidy.
Could you be part of an informal virtual steering group representing diverse communities around the Abbey Wood area, including Bexleyheath, Woolwich, Dartford?
We are looking for people who care passionately about this beautiful place and want to see it continue to thrive and develop. We’d like to establish a Friends Group to develop and contribute to events, volunteering days and to fundraise.
We are looking for volunteers to support our education team, North West Kent Countryside Partnership, to give schools a great learning experience at lesnes Abbey Woods.
We are looking for volunteers who would like to become Lesnes Abbey Walking Tour Guides, to take visitors around Lesnes Abbey Woods either focusing on the history or ecology/geology of the site (or both).
The site relies on the help of our volunteers to maintain and manage the woodland, heath, meadows and ponds. The work we carry out on the practical conservation days varies greatly according to the season and daily requirements.
Contribute to building up comprehensive species records by commiting to a regular survey such as a butterfly or bumblebee transect which will help inform how we manage the site.
