Trustee with experience in scientific research or ecology, zoology, animal welfare and management or fundraising.

We have a bold mission: to restore beavers to regenerate our landscapes. We need beavers back urgently; they play a supersized role in helping build climate-resilient landscapes and restoring freshwater habitats. 

What will you be doing?

In order to ensure geographic diversity in our trustee board our priority is to recruit trustees based in Scotland in this recruitment round. We are particularly interested in finding new trustees with a background in scientific research, ecology, zoology or animal welfare / management. We’re also keen to hear from candidates who feel they can add value to our fundraising efforts. 

We are truly committed to ensuring diversity and gender equality within our organisation and board, and we welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds, as well as from young people over 18yrs. 

What are we looking for?
