This week is Green Careers Week!

Every Green Career starts somewhere and for the new YDMT apprentices it has started this month. They have all begun working for their employers in and around the Yorkshire Dales, and last week we welcomed them together for their induction week. It was a chance to learn new skills, meet new people, get to know more about the apprenticeship scheme and spend time out in the landscape.

Over the next 18 months, they'll gain hands-on experience, access a range of specialist training and develop the skills and confidence needed for a career in conservation and countryside management.
Interested in a green career? There are lots of different routes into this sector, and an apprenticeship can be a great place to start.

A warm welcome to our newest cohort of apprentices who completed their induction week in October! 🎉

Our apprenticeship programme gives young people the opportunity to develop practical skills, build confidence, and pursue careers in conservation and the environment.

We're incredibly grateful to the players of Postcode Lottery, whose contributions help fund the wraparound support that makes these opportunities possible, ensuring apprentices receive guidance and support every step of the way.

Hermione, our People and Communities officer, took members from ARC Blackburn to Kingsdale Head Farm in October.

A new word was learnt on the trip as they built a Hibernaculum! This is a place for creatures such as frogs, toads, newts, and even hedgehogs to shelter in the colder months.

They also had a lovely stroll into the woodland and saw some of the emerging mushrooms and lichen, and went for a wander up to the Blanket Bog to see the special sphagnum moss!

Thank you so much, Jamie , for teaching us about how you manage the land for nature recovery and for your passion!

Have you ever considered becoming a charity trustee? 🤔

Trustees are the volunteers who lead charities and decide how they are run. Trusteeships are also a chance to support a cause you care about while building strategic thinking, leadership, and decision-making skills!

At Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, we're looking for people from diverse backgrounds who can bring fresh ideas, new perspectives, and valuable experience to our board. Together, we're working to protect and enhance the Yorkshire Dales while helping more people connect with nature.

Applications are open until Friday 30th October! Find out more on our website here: https://www.ydmt.org/trustee-opportunities

Our fundraising manager heard traitors is a really good way to raise money for charity and now she won’t take off the wig!

With nearly £50k in the prize pot already this season, we have been wondering what that amount of money could achieve in the Yorkshire Dales 🤔👇

It could support…

🌳 Getting 3,000 trees planted
🌸 15 community meadows
👏 10 rural apprentices with additional skills training!

Find out how you can get involved and support the people, landscape and wildlife of the Yorkshire Dales here on our website: https://www.ydmt.org/support-the-yorkshire-dales

We have had a lovely morning at Muker, learning all about veteran trees and how they are a great habitat for house nesting birds! 🌳🪶

There are still places available on the veteran tree walk in Sedbergh next week, we would love to see you there! 🍃
