BTCV is starting an exciting new project for North Norfolk District Council to help people over 16 to improve their health. Open to all, we are particularly keen to encourage the participation of people with additional needs such as those with long term health conditions, physical or sensory disability, learning difficulties or mental ill health who can face barriers in accessing and engaging with the natural environment. The Project will provide outdoor practical environmental activities in the community.

We are looking for energetic, well organised people who enjoy working with a wide range of people, are practical, resourceful and have experience of a range of practical conservation skills.
