Volunteer - Carneddau

If you would like to give back to this special landscape, there are plenty of opportunities to volunteer with the Carneddau Landscape Partnership Scheme.

From getting stuck into some practical conservation tasks and delving into historical archives to learning how to map archaeological features using brand-new data – you can become a guardian of the Carneddau.

Hannah’s experience of volunteering on an archaeological site

“I joined with no archaeological knowledge or background and by the end of the first day I was asking to stay longer to discover more Neolithic finds! Sitting where a Neolithic person sat to create their axe is a very moving experience that I’ll treasure forever (excuse the pun!). Everyone was so friendly and welcoming; I couldn’t wait to go back every day.”
