Short-term Conservation Internships

Job Description

 

Are you ready to start a career in conservation?
The Countryside Education Trust is an environmental charity based on the Beaulieu Estate in the heart of the New Forest. We have been fortunate enough to receive funding for this project through Youth for Climate and Nature (YouCAN).
We are based on Home Farm in Beaulieu, with woodlands and our Treehouse classrooms close by. Situated as we are we have access to a range of habitats including the Beaulieu River, heathland, semi-ancient woodlands and the sea. We run a residential centre, offer day visits and residentials to schools, educate adults in countryside focused skills, host lectures and large public events and nurture children through our clubs.
This short-term internship programme aims to provide a variety of practical conservation work experiences including coppicing, tree planting, fencing and work with livestock and gives the perfect opportunity to take a first step into paid environmental work.
There are 8 placements available, and candidates must be able to attend for a minimum of 3 days during the week.
Self-catered accommodation can be provided free of charge if required.
This opportunity is available to anyone considering a career in conservation over the age of 16.
