Volunteer Days
We have regular volunteers days where we invite anyone who wishes to spend some time in the wood to help with important woodland ecology work.
We value and appreciate how generously people have given their time and put in so much hard work over the past 7 years to help get major stages of the Tree Nursery and other important aspects completed.
If you wish to become a volunteer with The Deer Wood Trust please contact us:

Sustainable Off Grid Living
Marc and Lisa live here in harmony with nature, as the custodians of Deer Wood.
We have chosen to live an off-grid lifestyle in keeping with the needs of the land itself; treading lightly and respecfully with all our activities.
If you are interested in any aspect of learning more about how to live sustainably, where ever you are, we will be running courses from 2023.
