Wildlife Trust Young People's Forum Member

Our Young People's Forum is made up of passionate Wildlife Trust BCN members aged 13-24 from across our three counties.

The forum is a motivated group of young voices inspiring action for wildlife. The aim of the group is to help the Trust work better for young people. We want to hear how you think we can engage with more young people and encourage them to take action for wildlife. Participate in events, interview local politicians, write articles, record videos, inspire others to care!

You'll be working as part of a small team of around 10 to 15 other young people.
