Volunteering at Crom
Would you like to spend some of your spare time learning, meeting people and being part of a team? Crom has a wide variety of opportunities which you can get involved in, so there’s something to suit everyone.
Roles and opportunities
Crom is the perfect place for wildlife and nature enthusiasts. The 2,000-acre estate is one of the most important nature conservation areas in Ireland. Volunteers will learn about the importance of conserving special places like Crom whilst working alongside the ranger team.
Get involved in hands-on activities on the estate as well as some more out of the ordinary tasks like bat and bird surveys - you never know what kind of creatures you may meet along the way.
Volunteers are also heavily involved in the programme of events running throughout the year. Previous roles have included everything from giving tours of Lough Erne on a 100-year-old cot to judging egg-and-spoon races!
Volunteering at Crom is a great way to meet like-minded people and make new friends not just the visitors who come to see us.
'I'd recommend volunteering with the Trust to anyone. I can't believe how much I've learnt and how much fun I had whilst "working"!'
- Rowan McShane, long-term volunteer at Crom estate
