Our the last two years, as the Herefordshire Wildlife Trusts’ Ross Branch, we have developed an active and fervent branch. We have run popular talks on local or topical issues and delivered wildlife gardening workshops to encourage wild patches in back gardens across South Herefordshire, all of which have been enjoyed by branch members and non-members. Also, we have engaged over 600 primary school students in the Ross area with hands-on projects, as well as hosting several creative competitions at John Kyrle High School. Just this year, we went to Townsend Farm to learn about regenerative farming from Regen Ben and ran two family events at the Ross Community Gardens.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved together as a cohesive group of passionate and engaged volunteers who have expanded the horizons of the trust in South Herefordshire. We are incredibly keen to continue this development and would now love to hear from like minded and enthusiastic people who might take the branch forward. 

We are looking for people for various roles and we would be very happy to give training and support for anybody stepping forward to help. In addition, the Queenswood staff team will provide all the support needed to ensure you know what the trust is all about.

These roles are joyful and rewarding. You’ll build new relationships, connect with local organisations, and see first-hand the smiles when people of all ages discover something new about the natural world just outside our own front doors. We have certainly had a great time doing them and hope that somebody out there will be excited to follow on.

We’re also keen to grow our team and invite general volunteers to support our activities, so if a committee role isn’t for you, you can still be part of this exciting team.
