Conservation Training

Reply to: Helen Wallis <hwallis@wildlondon.org.uk>


Hi Dave,

I work at London Wildlife Trust and where there is currently a fantastic opportunity for paid training and I wondered if you could please promote it to Green Spaces Friends groups in London?  ... It would be great if it could be directly promoted to existing volunteers who fit the criteria, as volunteers will already have demonstrated a commitment to working outdoors on practical projects.

London Wildlife Trust is recruiting 6 conservation trainees for their Wild Talent project.  We are looking for practical people who have a passion for wildlife but lack qualifications and would like to find employment in the conservation sector.  Trainees will gain a Level 2 work-based Diploma in Environmental Conservation.  They must commit to full time training for a year, for which they will receive £13,200, paid in instalments.  The course would suit hard working, practical people who lack higher qualifications, but have the potential to undertake practical habitat management (e.g. safely felling trees or mowing meadows), surveying and community engagement (e.g. leading conservation volunteers or environmental educations sessions for schools).  

For more information, please see the following link:

The deadline is 30th June!

Do not hesitate to contact me if you need more info.

Best wishes
