Further and tertiary education
Are you looking to visit one of Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust's reserve as part of your course?
Whether you are looking to deliver your own fieldwork on a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) or developing the surveying skills of your students, why not visit a Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust reserve? At certain times of the year, we may be able to offer welcome talks with an introduction to your chosen nature reserve, though we do charge a fee of £75 to cover staff time.
At present we are also able to offer you independent survey permits and the opportunity to join one of our volunteer survey groups.
We are currently working on providing more opportunities such as supporting long-term site monitoring as part of your teaching programme, so check back here soon.
Please contact learning@gloucestershirewildlifetrust.co.uk to find out more.
