The Trust has active and involved members who participate at all levels of activity and skill. It is able to draw on a wide range of expertise. The Trust is sustained by members elected as Trustees or who volunteer to organise local meetings , raise funds or help with general administration.
Volunteers carry out most of the practical conservation work on trust land.
This work ranges from footpath repair and tree planting to seed collection and ecological and archaeological surveys and has been extended to neighbouring estates to promote conservation over wider areas. Participation in work parties and surveys also offers members the experience of living and working in wild and remote places, and meeting other members. Members learn new skills and come to a deeper appreciation of the need to safeguard our wild land. A regular newsletter offers members a forum in which to express their own views as well as to be kept informed of achievements and plans for the future. We now have an internet discussion group for you to discuss any aspect of the Trust.
