Get Involved With Generation Soil

Did you know that when you come into contact with soil, your skin absorbs a natural bacterium, Mycobacterium vaccae, that boosts serotonin, the 'happy hormone'?

​

It’s science: soil can literally make you happier.

 

By volunteering with Generation Soil, you’re not just helping compost food waste, you’re improving your wellbeing, reconnecting with nature, and helping Bristol build a circular, regenerative food system.

 

Whether you want to get your hands dirty or support from behind the scenes, there’s a place for you in the Soil Revolution.

“To forget how to tend the soil is to forget ourselves.”

 

Vandana Shiva – Ecologist & Philosopher

​

Join our team of volunteers turning local food waste into living compost at community composting hubs and our two-acre food forest market garden. You’ll:

 

  • Learn about composting, soil health, and regenerative growing.

  • Help collect and process food waste for composting.

  • Support local food resilience and biodiversity.

  • Meet like-minded people working for a greener Bristol.

 

No experience needed, just enthusiasm and a love for the planet.

  • Reduce stress and anxiety
