National Trails UK’s Nature Recovery Programme aspires for the 5,500 miles of the National Trail network to be corridors for people and nature.

This summer we will be accelerating this vision across three pilots on the Cotswold Way, The Ridgeway and the Coast to Coast Path.

But this vision can’t happen without the next generation of ecologists and environmental scientists.

We recognise getting your first role in the environmental sector can be challenging and that is why we are seeking two 18-30 year olds to support us with our Coast to Coast Path pilot. If you want to learn more about ecology or develop your skills and have availability to take part in training and habitat surveying across 5 days in August, this could be you! The successful applicants will be provided with a £600 grant, travel expenses and additional professional development support. We are particularly interested in supporting applicants from backgrounds currently underrepresented within the ecology and conservation sectors.

Please see the 'More Information' document on our website for further details and to apply.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

Closing date: midnight Monday 3rd August
