At the Woodland Trust we believe that young people should have a say in the future of their planet. We want to ensure that in future years the Woodland Trust resonates with young people and that young people feel they have a place in the organisation.

This is a unique opportunity to receive training, deepen your knowledge of conservation, create a lasting network, gain valuable personal / professional skills, all while being supported along the way and hopefully having lots of fun and creating a lasting impact!
