A group of young people are gathered in front of a staff member from Shropshire Wildlife Trusts, who is stood with his back to the camera, the logo of the trust visible on the back of his fleece. There are five young people facing the camera, but out of focus, with their attention focused on the staff member. They are stood in a wooded area, with tall trees with green leaves in bright sunlight.

Want to support our team and get involved in the delivery of the Environmental Leadership Programme?

ELP2 would not be possible without the amazing support we've recieved from some incredible individuals and organisations and we're always looking to include more voices and experiences on the programme.

We aim to introduce our participants to wide range of speakers and guests, and involvement in the programme can range from providing short informational videos for us to share, to facilitating one of our sessions.

If you would like to share your experience, or have a chat with our team to find out more about how you or your organisation could get involved, get in touch via email, at elp2@wildlifetrusts.org
