Project Description

Our events programme aims to give young people and adults the chance to get close to nature, and we are looking for people to support our Team to make sure they get the most out of their experience.

We'll give you training and experience to build your confidence in helping people have wonderful hands-on experiences with nature. We can potentially give you the skills to kick start a career in leading nature groups, visitor experience or environmental education.
