Volunteering with BET

Our woodland volunteers meet twice monthly, usually on the second Thursday & the fourth Saturday of each month meeting outside 17 Church Town, Backwell just before 10am & returning around 12:15. There is also a more informal group working on most Monday mornings (meeting in the woodlands) - just contact us if you would like to join in with any of our volunteer activities or simply just turn up!

Volunteering is a great way to spend an hour or two - apart from being friendly and sociable, tea and biscuits are ALWAYS provided! Backwell Environment Trust (BET) is 100% operated by volunteers – our trustees, members, supporters and advisors. As we have no paid staff, we can therefore ensure that all the money we raise, or is donated, can be used for the benefit of the whole community. However in today’s society, people are now busier than ever before, so we are always on the look out for new volunteers to join in and help with us the many varied tasks our trusty volunteers take on.

Even if you only have an hour or so to spare each month rest assured we will make you very welcome! Absolutely no experience is necessary – we will supply all the training and tools as well as lashings of tea & biscuits! So maybe you would be interested in getting involved with our woodland activities on tasks such as fencing, dry stone walling, hedge laying, coppicing, hay making, etc.

Alternatively you may like to

• join in with some of the archaeological excavations & restorations we undertake, or
• perhaps you have a special skill that you think might be helpful to BET, either now or in the future, or 
• you may prefer to join in and help with the varied educational/training sessions we hold?
