Community and Education Volunteer
Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire
Our Community and Education work is vital for engaging more people in our work to restore and conserve nature. Our volunteers support various activities that educate and inspire people of all ages and abilities.
Support our Community and Education team in their work to raise awareness of the rare and beautiful nature and wildlife found in Bedfordshire. We run various events and activities in Luton and Beds for many different groups, ages and abilities. This role could be supporting guided walks, helping run a club for young children or a public event on one of our nature reserves. It is varied but a great chance to learn about your local area and help others to learn about and enjoy the natural world.
