WE are proud to nominate the Saltram Young Volunteers Group for their dedication, teamwork, and contribution to conservation at National Trust Saltram.

This passionate group gives up one Saturday a month - often during exam years - to support a range of indoor and outdoor tasks across the estate. Over the past year, they've become a close-knit, effective team, contributing 576 volunteer hours across more than six departments.

Their work includes planting trees, conservation cleaning, maintaining equipment, and supporting daily operations. Every task is approached with care and collaboration, meeting the high standards of the National Trust.
