Join Us
Through Exmoor Pioneers we will be developing a wide variety of activities and programmes to help connect people of all ages and backgrounds to the Royal Forest of Exmoor.
Exmoor Pioneers is for everyone, and we will host many events and opportunities where everyone is welcome. But we recognise there are specific challenges some groups face to accessing or experiencing wild places and this is something we’re trying to tackle. We have some specific focus audiences: young people (including young people with disabilities), families (including those from low-income backgrounds), Global Majority groups (including black and minority ethnic groups), older residents facing social isolation or poor wellbeing, and local residents in general who do not currently engage with Exmoor.
If you identify as or work with one of our focus audiences and would like to learn more, contact Philippa Hill, the Exmoor Pioneers Programme Coordinator phill@exmoor-nationalpark.gov.uk.
Volunteering with Pioneers
We will host a wide range of volunteering opportunities within the Exmoor Pioneers project. Whether you’re interested in seed sowing and horticultural tasks, habitat creation for priority species, event support, mapping of heritage sites through remote sensing, community excavations, or archival research, there will be something for everyone.
To keep updated with volunteering opportunities for the Pioneers project as well as other opportunities across Exmoor, sign up on our Get Involved page.
