Volunteers are very welcome and much appreciated!
What can I do?
Volunteers are instrumental in the management of the woodland. Volunteer tasks include planting trees, laying hedgerow, and critically, picking up litter. Litter on the Common is costly to control, especially in the areas along Petersham Road and Star and Garter Hill. Join one of our Litter Picks to help us manage this issue, or if you have your own ideas of how you could to contribute to the conservation of Petersham Common Woods, or to us at Petersham Common Conservators, please reach out today.
The Good Gym volunteers Duke of Edinburgh Awards Ibstock School
In the past, we have been helped by the Ham and Petersham Association, The Environment Trust of Richmond upon Thames, The Petersham and Ham Sea Scouts (Beaver Troops), Trust for Conservation Volunteers, Russell Primary School, and Duke of Edinburgh volunteers from Bradfield College and St. George’s School. The Good Gym, Richmond, helped control litter and invasive plants, and we've been joined by a group of young men from Ibstock School completing their Duke of Edinburgh Award volunteer hours.
