Getting Involved

Would you like to help help raise awareness of contemporary rural issues and to re-establish a link between the land and Scotland’s population?

If the answer is yes, then RHET can help you!

All we ask for is a little time.

Year on year the demand from Scottish schools for information on food, farming and the countryside and for visits to scottish farms grows evermore. We are, therefore, always in need of people who are willing to donate some time to help spread the word about Scotland’s countryside.

RHET is involved with a large number of events and activities across the whole of Scotland from planting potatoes in schools to local Agricultural shows. We could not continue with our excellent work without the time donated by hundreds of volunteers who help us with farm visits, classroom talks, Estate Days, Count & Grow, Healthy Eating events, taking tractors into schools and the Royal Highland Show, to name but a few.

When a volunteer hosts a farm visit or talk to a class in school their enthusiasm carries over to the children they speak to. This is the strength of the work RHET does!

By getting involved you would become part of a national network of hundreds of farmers, rural workers and like-minded volunteers that are passing on their expertise on food, farming and the countryside.
