Corporate Volunteering

The ideal team building day in the countryside

If you'd like to get your team together outdoors and enjoy a break from the normal environment, then a corporate volunteering day with the CRT could be just the ticket.

We can organise a bespoke day for you, where your team of up to 20 people will be doing some practical conservation work on our farms. Getting closer to nature in this way can have a positive impact on wellbeing and mental health, giving colleagues chance to get to know each other and work together in a different setting.

At the end of the day, the team will know they have made a real difference in supporting their local countryside, whilst learning about wildlife and the benefits of nature friendly farming along the way. There is no fee involved for corporate days on our farms, but donations are welcome.

What We Do

The CRT promotes nature-friendly farming to help reverse biodiversity decline and combat climate change. We believe nature is integral to good farming and we protect, promote and regenerate our land and all life on it. We put our philosophy into practice on over 2,000 acres of working farms, small-holdings and woodland across England.

Slow-worms – the gardener’s best friend

The UK has 6 native reptile species including the curious slow-worm (Anguis fragilis). Although serpent-like in appearance, slow-worms are in fact limbless lizards and an amazing example of de-evolution.

Our farms and wildlife

The CRT has a wide range of wonderful properties across the UK. Many of these have been left to us in legacy whilst others were purchased to save the land - full of precious ecosystems and habitats - from intensive farming.
