All of our tasks are fun, but this one really felt like we were having a clear and direct impact on those in need, and whilst packing the bags we could literally imagine a child opening their bag on Christmas Day.

About the task

Welcome to WWF x GoodGymโ€™s Workout for Nature

Throughout April WWF and GoodGym are collaborating on hundreds of sessions to celebrate Earth Day. Each session will involve a Workout for Nature - a physical volunteering activity which will benefit local green spaces, and give your own wellbeing a boost. Simply sign up below and come along. No experience required!

The Friends of Horsenden Hill host regular sessions at Horsenden Farm with a range of conservation, gardening, veg growing, and site maintenance tasks.

No prior experience needed - all the instructions and tools will be provided!

The volunteering session coincides with the tap day on the farm to keep everyone's energy levels up. From 12pm you can treat yourself to freshly brewed draft beer at the on-site nano brewery ๐Ÿบ or lots of non-alcoholic options ๐Ÿฅค, pizzas baked in the clay oven ๐Ÿ• or other sweet and savoury treats from the bakery!

You can join us for a short walk to an afternoon task on the same day if you want.

  • building enclosures for goats and pigs

GoodGym is a community of people that get fit by doing good. We run, walk and cycle to do practical tasks for community organisations and isolated older people.
