KNTV are a group of Volunteers, formed in 1981, who meet once a month on a Sunday to help outdoors at National Trust properties in Kent, arranged with wardens and head gardeners.
National Trust Properties
KNTV have helped at a variety of well-known National Trust properties including Chartwell, Emmetts, Smallhythe Place, Scotney Castle, Sissinghurst, Ightham Mote, St John's Jerusalem, Cobham woods and Owletts.
Tasks
These take place on the 2nd Sunday of each Month (with exceptions) starting at 10:30. Lifts can be arranged where possible. Just bring old clothes, sturdy boots, waterproofs, a packed lunch, a drink and some enthusiasm! Tools and water are provided and some gloves are available, although it may be better to bring your own.
What we do
Our tasks include fence building, scrub clearance, pollarding, coppicing, path building, cutting back, tree planting, pond clearance and gardening.
Benefits
Get behind the scenes with our National Trust affiliated volunteer group, join a team, feel alive, have fun, burn off calories, do some good and go home satisfied! Also, if you work 50 hours in a year with our Group you may get a National Trust Volunteer card for free entry into National Trust properties and discounts in National Trust shops.
Social
Running alongside our tasks, KNTV have an active social programme including local walks, meals and group holidays.
