Be prepared to get dirty and smelly, so we recommend you wear old clothes or at least not your best clothes! Closed-toe comfy shoes/hiking boots are also recommended. Bring a few pairs of hard-wearing gloves, e.g. washable gardening gloves too.  During summer, it can be sweltering, so most volunteers like to wear a hat or a cap, and of course, sunscreen is essential. During winter it can rain more often so bring a light raincoat too.
