Volunteering in the Park

We welcome volunteers of any ability and skill level. Whether you have 1 hour or 30 hours a week to give, we may be able to find a role to suit you - just let us know what your skills are or what you would like to do. Please enquire at the office, email us at hocp@bedford.gov.uk or phone 01234 718799.

Volunteering

Volunteers can be found working in the Park between 9:30am and 3pm Monday through Thursday. Why not come and join them and help with practical work such as habitat management, tree planting, hedge work and general maintenance duties. Refreshments, gloves & tools provided but a packed lunch, steel toe cap boots and suitable outdoor clothing needed. You can join us once a week (or more), just for half a day or even just once a month – the choice is yours. Contact Ed on hocp@bedford.gov.uk for more information.

 

Help with events

The Park runs a number of events each year and we are always looking for volunteers to help. If you are interested, please check out our events calendar and speak to Ed Green on 01234 718799.

The Friends of Harrold-Odell Country Park are currently looking for an Events Officer (voluntary position). If you are interested, please contact us on the above phone number.
