The National Trust manages an incredibly large area of land and foreshore around Strangford Lough, including many islands and areas of farmland and woodland. With a team of only four rangers, we rely on the dedicated assistance of many enthusiastic volunteers.
There are many environmental benefits from this work, but the individuals who take part also gain personally from the experience. Volunteering is a fantastic way to stay fit whilst spending time in the fresh air and discovering some of the most inspiring parts of the countryside.
There are lots of reasons to join us; making the move to volunteer could be the best decision you ever make.
