• Get involved at Her Land

    We are really excited that you want to get involved. You can use the form below to apply to be a general volunteer and to apply for our 'Thriving in Nature' activities, starting in November 2024. Thriving in Nature is a weekly session where you can get out into nature and reduce your stress levels by taking part in activities on site that will improve your physical and mental health, allow you to meet like-minded people, and learn new skills. The sessions will start on Tuesday 19 November 2024 and will be every Tuesday morning and Sunday afternoon. To learn more about Her Land and our aims and plans please visit the home page here.

    Activities included in the Thriving in Nature programme are:
    • Digging with hand tools
    • Digging with a mechanical digger / excavator
    • Planting trees
    • Cutting back undergrowth
    • Pegging out the field with wooden stakes and string
    • Using wheelbarrows
    • Cutting hedges using a brushcutter and / or hedge trimmers
    • Laying paths with cardboard and woodchip
    • Picking up, cleaning and stacking bricks
    • Carrying logs
    Please only apply if you feel confident that you have the physical fitness and ability to engage in most of these activities. If you face an activity that you do not feel comfortable participating in at a session please make sure that you communicate this clearly to your group leader at the time.

     

    Site accessibility:
    We are keen to develop an inclusive environment at Her Land and are seeking to build a disability-positive space. However, at the moment, the site has a lot of uneven ground and therefore you will need to be steady on your feet to be able to participate in the programme. If you think there are reasonable adjustments that could be made to allow you to access the programme please let us know so we can strive to support them. Email becky@herland.co.uk to discuss further if needed.

     

    First aid:
    Please note that there may not be a first aid trained person on site during each session. However, group leaders will have access to a first aid kit for you to self administer. In case of emergencies the relevant emergency service will be contacted.

     

    If you are happy to proceed and to take part in our Thriving in Nature activities or register as a general volunteer, please fill in the form below. We will only accept registrations from women (she/her), however we plan to open up the site for everyone to enjoy during weekends in 2025.
