Volunteer specialist skills training events in 2024
Friends of the Lake District is running a series of specialist subject training events for people willing to help us survey our land. The events cover a variety of different subjects and you do not have to volunteer for all of the subjects. You do not have to be a current Friends of the Lake District member or volunteer to attend, but we do ask that if you are trained, that you commit to helping survey our properties over the next few years using your new knowledge and skills. Training places will be limited in number. We'll be adding additional events for 2024 when we have confirmed dates and venues.
