Previously a similar programme called Wildlife Skills ran from 2014 and 2017, funded by Heritage Lottery Fund and aspiring conservationists came to Somerset Wildlife Trust to benefit the county's community and wildlife and gain the skills they needed to get a job in the conservation sector - you can see our trainees from 2016-2017 below and what they got up to during the programme.
