The charity is holding an information day at Drumlanrig Castle on Saturday for anyone interested in getting involved.
Woodland Trust volunteers are involved in a wide range of activities indoors and outdoors, including recording ancient trees, looking after sites, helping with planting, spotting threats in planning applications and public speaking – there are tasks to suit any knowledge or fitness level.
Spokesman George Anderson said: “We currently have 170 people volunteering with us around Scotland. They all gain tremendous satisfaction knowing they are contributing to a better future for our woods and trees.
“The gathering will be very relaxed with no pressure to make a commitment. It is a chance for people to find out a bit more about what volunteering involves so they can decide if it is for them.”
To reserve a place or for more information about the recruitment session, call Matilda Scharsach on 0343 770 5510.
