This role involves visiting private and community spaces to share your knowledge and give encouraging guidance on how to improve and manage spaces for wildlife.
Somerset Wildlife Trust works to protect and restore wildlife on our own nature reserves and in the wider landscape. We need your help to increase the space available for wildlife, and the connectivity between wildlife-welcoming areas. You will be supporting and advising individuals and communities across Somerset who own or manage land primarily for nature and are creating environmentally rich habitat that allows wildlife not only to thrive and spread but also adapt to change.
Some sites may have fairly limited value for wildlife but be ripe for improvement, other sites may be of local significance such as Local (County) Wildlife Sites. This is an advisory role; you will not be asked to complete practical land management tasks or full surveys when visiting sites.
We receive requests from all over Somerset, but you can choose how far you are willing to travel and which visits you accept. The further you are willing to travel, the more visits will be available for you.
It’s up to you how many requests you accept, and you can arrange these around your other commitments. To get the most out of this role, we recommend aiming to visit a site at least every two months, with a visit taking anywhere between 2 and 5 hours depending on the size. You may receive more requests during spring and summer.
