National Marine Week

25th July, 2022 - 8th August, 2022

UK | Free

National Marine Week is The Wildlife Trusts’ nationwide celebration of all things marine. Despite the name, it lasts 15 fun-filled days to allow for the variation in tide times around the country.

Enter the National Marine Week Competition

Can you make your own mini coastal documentary? We're asking you to celebrate our wonderful blue planet by making a one-minute long marine movie and posting it on Instagram or Twitter using #NationalMarineWeek for a chance to be featured on our social media channels, and to win a bundle of prizes - including a brilliant book on our seas by marine biologist Paul Naylor! Not sure where to start? Here are some ideas:

Zoom in on a rockpool and describe what you see
Film a fish darting in the shallows
Tell us about a species that lives in the sea, and why you love it
A spotlight on overlooked wildlife! How about looking more closely at barnacles?

Organised by The Wildlife Trusts

Dun Coillich Rural Skills Training Course

14th February, 2024 - 3rd July, 2024

We are now taking applications for our next Rural Skills Training Course which will start on the 14th of February 2024 (closing date for applications is the 7th of February). The course runs for 20 weeks every Wednesday and some Thursdays and is completely free of charge. The course offers a mix of certified training (chainsaw, brushcutter, ATV, pesticide use, first aid), non-certified training days (dyking, ropes access, fencing, habitat monitoring); alongside practical work experience and skills development. Throughout the course, our trainees are given the opportunity to improve their wider skills and are encouraged to explore their interests and strengths in a supportive environment.
