As a volunteer, you’ll have the opportunity to manage, maintain, and champion these unique networks of footpaths, bridleways, and the 2,500 miles of public rights of way.

These paths are not just routes for walking, cycling, and riding, but lifelines for local journeys to the shops, school runs, dog walks, and gateways to the countryside.

Why volunteer with us?

  • you will be making a difference to the rights of way network, a valuable asset for both local people and visitors 
  • you will be helping to keep the network of rights of way open and easy to use
  • you can use your existing skills and develop new ones
  • you will gain a sense of achievement and be part of a network of like-minded people
  • you will explore and discover the Lincolnshire countryside
  • it’s flexible – you can do it when it suits you and for as long as you want

What does volunteering involve?

  • regularly checking local footpaths/bridleways or a promoted route to ensure they are open and easy to use
  • replacing damaged waymarkers to ensure routes are easy to follow
  • removing vegetation overhanging signs, gates, bridges and stiles
  • be the eyes and ears on the ground, reporting any problems you find to us

Join our team of volunteers and play a vital role in preserving our heritage, making it accessible for everyone to relish. Your contribution can make a significant difference. We look forward to welcoming you.
