Volunteering

Each year volunteers donate their time and skills to help conserve and enhance the AONB’s special landscape.   It’s a great way to make friends, learn new skills, get fit and make a real difference.

There are lots of ways you can volunteer on Cannock Chase, either through the AONB team or with our partners.  There are roles to suit a range of interests including: helping at events, surveys, practical conservation tasks, welcoming visitors, photography and litter picking.

We are currently recruiting for the following roles:

Fixed Point Photography (helping to monitor changes in the character and condition of the landscape of the AONB by taking photographs at specific viewpoints on the Chase, twice a year)
