Since taking on ownership of Stirley Farm in 2011, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust has restored an old barn into an excellent education facility, developed a thriving community vegetable garden, planted an orchard, established & introduced beehives and provided environmental education to young people.

Stirley hosts regular school visits throughout the year helping young people discover how plants grow, learning core topics of sustainability, healthy eating and a sense of wonder for nature. To continue and expand our education work at Stirley, we're looking to expand our team of volunteers to assist with both the delivery of, and preparation for, these education sessions and other events. In the future we hope to expand our family and adult events so that groups can explore the site during school holidays and at weekends. A strong team of education volunteers will enable small events and activities to be held throughout these busy periods, for example regular seasonal events at Christmas, Halloween, and half term family activities.

At Stirley we run a range of events across the year to inspire people about nature. Volunteers assist with the majority of these events from school group visits to bookable events for the public. In this role you will help to deliver these activities, representing Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, and sharing your passion for nature with others providing a high quality visitor experience.
