YORKSHIRE Wildlife Trust – which manages over 100 nature reserves, including Low Wood at Riddlesden – is seeking trustees.

The charity is recruiting three people to its board.

No previous experience of serving as a trustee is required.

Trust vice-chair Nick Perks, who is leading the recruitment process, says: "It is so encouraging to be part of an organisation that is looking after nature right across Yorkshire, and helping others to play their part too.

"As well as managing nature reserves, the trust is also at the forefront of conservation work across Yorkshire.

"I’m looking forward to welcoming new trustees to the team.

"A diverse board of trustees helps the trust with its decision making and enables us to better represent our membership and all communities across the region so that we can create and deepen connections to nature."

The trustee role is a voluntary one.

Successful candidates will be expected to commit at least five hours a month to trust affairs.
