“I want to work for a charity like the Wildlife Trust, and this course is perfect preparation. For my work experience at Mapperton Estate, I’m helping with their rewilding project to bring back native species. We also go on trips, like clearing a deer enclosure for the RSPCA. It feels great using my practical skills to help with conservation.”
