Volunteer for An Taisce

Help protect our environment, climate, natural ecosystems and cultural heritage

There are many different ways in which you can get involved with our work.

We are a membership-based charity with a network of local associations across Ireland, and we are critically dependent on members, interns and volunteers to support our work. We need you to help us with our vital work.

Members can join one our local associations as well as our committees, which focus respectively on Climate Change, Natural Environment, and Properties.

From time to time there are opportunities to work in one of our offices as a volunteer or intern. This is a great way to build up experience in the environmental field while helping to preserve Ireland's built and natural heritage.

If you are interested in working with us as a volunteer or intern, please contact [email protected] and attach your CV. Please also check our vacancies page to see if we currently have any specific volunteer or intern roles open.

Compost for Nature

Our brand new Compost for Nature guide is now available! For years, the garden and landscape industry has been selling us peat moss as “compost.” In reality, this is peat-moss that is nutrient-poor and bad for our peatlands. The good news is that there is another more sustainable way to nurture soil health AND reduce waste - composting!
