Volunteer with us

Our volunteers are quite simply the lifeblood of our special place. Without them, we couldn't fulfil our conservation work and visitors would miss their valuable contribution in bringing our place to life. If you're interested in joining our great network of volunteers, we have a variety of different opportunities for you to get involved.

Rosemary

The Bower Garden at Sheringham Park features a sensory garden, a wildflower meadow and a pond, created as a space for adults and children to explore, discover and have fun. Rosemary is one of a dedicated team of volunteers who help maintain it. She loves that it keeps her active with no gym fees to pay, and that the small group enjoys lots of autonomy, friendship and laughter.
