It was a great experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Later on in the week, I worked with a few more school groups, running various activities which I now feel confident leading. I also was able to view some other activities schools can get involved with for example measuring river depths and speeds in order to see weather it&#8217;d be a suitable habitat for a water vole which is a species the wildlife trust is particularly concerned about.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday and Thursday I was involved with working with the midweek volunteers in order to see what conservation work\u00a0the wildlife trust actively\u00a0does while running their nature reserves. On Wednesday we went to a woodland nature reserve to clear invasive none native species in order to allow succession of outcompeted native species and on Thursday we cleared a footpath. Although it\u00a0has been\u00a0good to experience other departments within the wildlife trust\u00a0I have to admit I have\u00a0much preferred working with the education department and raising awareness for the charity\u00a0than working in hands on conservation work.<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend I was needed to help run a stall at\u00a0a local event, to raise awareness for the trust\u00a0by providing various\u00a0activities for families\u00a0to get involved with, \u00a0it was good fun and its really satisfying knowing that a lot of money and awareness is being raised for a good cause.<\/p>\n<p>The first three weeks of the internship have gone so fast,\u00a0I&#8217;ll be really sad to finish and say goodbye to my colleagues at the end of next week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week was another amazing week full of fantastic experiences.
