Volunteer for Estate Conservation

Thursdays, 10.30am

If you like gratifying, physical work outdoors, you can help us with the conservation of Sharpham’s breath-taking parkland – thought to have been laid out by England’s most famous landscaper Capability Brown – which surrounds Sharpham House, a Grade 1-listed Georgian villa.

The group helps to restore some of the paths and steps around the Estate, new fencing, hedge-laying and work in the organic orchards.

The conservation volunteers created an oak circular bench for our sit-spot beside the River Dart amid the reed-beds. 

Our conservation volunteers meet by the coach-yard at the back of Sharpham House. No experience is necessary as guidance will be given by group leader Martin Beat from our partners Ambios.
