A unique opportunity to spend time in the forest with the Arkaig team maintaining this beautiful place for the local community.
We hold regular volunteer days both in the tree nursery and out in the forest. Join us for seed collecting, seedling care, willow harvesting, non-native tree removal, peat damming and much more. We also run workshops and events such as willow weaving, wildlife walks, fungi forays and community picnics.
If you would like to be involved with events run by the Arkaig Community Forest, please sign up.

Removing an old wire deer fence may not sound like the most exciting way to spend your Saturday, but as our volunteers demonstrated it is a deeply satisfying task!
