Volunteering in the Lee Valley Regional Park

Volunteers

The Lee Valley Regional Park Authority has a fantastic band of supporters who get involved in activities at a range of centres and open spaces within the Regional Park. These groups of people and individuals give up their free time to support the work of the Authority and undertake a variety of tasks.
 
Activities volunteers get involved in range from practical conservation work, looking after the animals at the farms, keeping the golf courses in good condition, helping at events to being a fisheries bailiff. Many have been involved with the Authority for years and continue to offer valuable support.
 
If you have a passion for a particular pastime or would like to support one of our facilities or open spaces you may be interested in becoming a volunteer in the Lee Valley Regional Park. You can become a volunteer helping out in the field you are interested in either working individually or as part of a team with other volunteers and staff.
