Stand for Nature Wales
The five Wildlife Trusts in Wales have come together to tackle climate change with the help of the young people of Wales. We will work to empower and inspire young people to take action for nature and wildlife in their local area in a bid to tackle climate change. From urban Cardiff to rural Radnorshire, young people are standing for nature and their futures.

Why now?
There has never been a more important time to take action for nature. We are currently facing a climate and nature emergency, with 17% of species in Wales at risk of extinction. But we can change this! By putting nature into recovery, we can and will tackle climate change. Thriving habitats can safely lock up vast amounts of carbon, while providing other vital benefits that help us adapt, such as flood prevention, clean water, and improved health and wellbeing.
Take action for climate change!

What are we doing?
Since the project started, the Stand for Nature Wales team has been busy, busy, busy! We have been working hard to reach out to young people.
If you live within Radnorshire and would like to find out more about this exciting project, you can drop in on one of our events or fortnightly meetings and see what you think! This is an adaptive programme; we would love to work with existing groups, and we could set up activities in your local area if we have enough interest!
Nature's Recovery and Climate Change Traineeship
We are on the lookout for enthusiastic individuals, aged 16-24, to join our part-time Nature's Recovery and Climate Change Traineeship for six months! This traineeship offers a unique and exciting opportunity to undertake work-based training towards developing a practical career in environmental conservation. Trainees will gain experience in wildlife surveying, practical reserve work- on reserves like Gilfach and Pentwyn Farm, tool use, working with volunteers, and digital communications, as well as improving knowledge on climate change, community organising and building community change.
