Volunteering Opportunities

Volunteers play an invaluable role in helping us to conserve and enhance the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Stour Valley. We have a variety of opportunities to get involved in.


Volunteer with us and make friends, learn new skills, get fit, fill a gap in your CV, get work experience and make a real difference to improving one of the UK’s outstanding landscapes. Our volunteers are an invaluable resource enabling us to carry out important work that we wouldn’t otherwise be able to achieve.

Do you have some spare time to help care for the Dedham Vale AONB and Stour Valley or to help others to enjoy it?

For more information about volunteering with the AONB you can read our Volunteer Handbook (PDF). If you want to become a volunteer please complete the registration form online or fill out the form and email it to us.
