Becoming a member of the DSWA is one of the best ways to support our work, even if you do not wish to be actively involved in building walls. Further information is available directly from the DSWA website.

Available to everyone, membership:

• Contributes to the preservation and restoration of our rural heritage through supporting our work
• Provides an opportunity to gain new skills and engage in a healthy outdoor activity which is great for your mental and physical wellbeing.
• Connects you to a growing community of professional Wallers, providing a forum for peer support and skill development.
• Supports the DSWA charitable object of projecting, restoring, and rebuilding the stone walls that form part of our country’s rural heritage.
