Finished the last week of my internship, it’s been an absolutely amazing experience, I’ve had involvement in multiple different sectors of the wildlife trust and have felt really welcomed into every different department.
\nThis week I’ve done multiple different wildlife based things, on Monday I was invited onto a lichen course to learn more about lichen, and see how we could maybe include it into the school curriculum, it was surprisingly interesting and I think I learnt a lot.<\/p>\n
I also did some more work with the midweek volunteers, clearing ragwort out of fields as it is poisonous to live stock.<\/p>\n
On Thursday I worked with the wildlife trust running 2 children’s parties, den building and fire building, it was a really easy day and\u00a0I really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n
On Friday morning\u00a0the Severn\u00a0Trent water team took me out in the landrovers around the reservoir to\u00a0clear some paths and teach me\u00a0about their partnership with the wildlife trust and how they use\u00a0it to improve\u00a0conservation onsite, and as it was my last day they took me around the reservoir on the power\u00a0boat in the afternoon, it was absolutely incredible and was such a perfect end to my internship.<\/p>\n
I was really\u00a0sad to leave, but I don’t think it will be the\u00a0last time\u00a0I will see my colleagues as I was invited\u00a0later on\u00a0over summer to go\u00a0on a otter monitoring boat trip\u00a0which I am really excited for.<\/p>\n
I have thoroughly\u00a0enjoyed \u00a0every part of my internship, I’ve loved spending so much time outside, especially since the weathers been so great (only one rainy day) and feel I have really improved my people skills having to deal with parents and teachers so often.<\/p>\n
I would recommend charity insights to anyone else thinking of applying because its been such an amazing experience for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
