What’s involved: Volunteering at Lambing provides volunteers with the chance to help at our busiest public event of the year.

There are a wide range of roles and we always do our best to match volunteers up with tasks that they are happy to do.

All our volunteers are well supported by members of Earth Trust staff on the day.
Duties could include:
* Welcoming arriving cars, directing traffic and parking
* Selling tickets and admitting visitors
