Wild Work Days

About Wild Work Days

Our Wild Work Days offer your employees a rewarding outdoor experience that is guaranteed to:

  • Help the local wildlife
  • Improve the physical and mental wellbeing of your employees
  • Develop team building skills
  • Enhance staff performance

Our Wild Work Days take place on a number of our nature reserves across Surrey and are available from the beginning of September to the end of February. We will always try to match your group to a reserve that works for you as well as a habitat that would benefit from your help.

Activities for the day may include

✓ Clearing scrub and having a bonfire to restore rare chalk-downland and heathland

✓ Woodland management such as coppicing hazel to enhance dormouse habitat
✓ Removal of problem plant species such as rhododendron to improve native biodiversity
✓ Join us on the farm to help with fence removal to enable conservation grazing

No experience necessary!

We provide an experienced member of staff to run the day, all tools, training, refreshments and Health & Safety expertise, so all you have to do is turn up and have fun.

Pricing

For groups of up to 30 people, the cost is £100 per person, per day +Vat (with a minimum charge of £1,000+vat)

For groups of more than 30 people, please contact us for a quote. 

Don't have a budget?

If your team doesn't have a budget, why not consider fundraising to cover the costs of participating through a fundraising event or sponsored activity? For smaller business teams (up to 5 staff) with no budget it's also possible to participate in a basic volunteering day.

Surrey Wildlife Trust were brilliant in hosting a Wild Work Day for 82 of our staff and were outstanding in explaining why we were removing invasive species to restore the heathland. This was a marvellous opportunity for Nikon to give back to the community while providing a team-building activity for our people.
