Ashprington, Totnes, Devon TQ9 7DX

Cost: £3,950 (£150 non-refundable deposit)

“The traineeship has given me the confidence to go into the nature sector without formal academic qualifications, and reinvigorated me to pursue what I believe in.” (Autumn 2025 trainee)

Through a mix of workshops, fieldwork, and practical training, you will explore key areas including ecological principles, wildlife identification (plants, birds, bats), and monitoring techniques such as camera trapping and bird surveys. You’ll gain insight into soils and fungi, sustainable farming, rewilding and species reintroductions, alongside practical countryside skills like tree planting, hedge laying, livestock handling, and tool use.

The traineeship also includes green woodwork and rural crafts, offering opportunities to connect creatively with nature. Field trips to rewilding sites across Devon provide broader perspectives on land management, while community engagement and networking activities help you build valuable connections.

Personal development is central to the experience, with tailored support to build confidence and clarify your career direction. Living sustainably is encouraged through shared community life and involvement in the organic garden and farm.
