Do you want to develop your natural skills? Over the next two years, the Natural Talent UK programme will offer 12 passionate nature enthusiasts the opportunity to become expert in taxonomic groups and/or habitats where there are recognised skills shortages, helping to protect lesser-known species and create awareness of their habitats. Trainees will also encourage volunteers and communities to become more active in surveying, mapping and managing local sites for increased biodiversity. The programme is managed by The Conservation Volunteers (TCV) and funded through the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
