Hi I’m Tom, I’m a volunteer Youth Leader with Keeping it Wild. I started at Keeping it Wild to meet other young people interested in nature and to help with conservation activities, and my role grew during my time in the group (as well as my age). I think it’s fair that before I started with Keeping it Wild, I didn’t know much about wildlife and the natural environment (I just wanted to chop bramble), but the more I’ve been involved the more I’ve learnt, and with all the amazing activities that have happened over the years I’ve been really privileged to absorb knowledge from some of the best conservationists in the county about what’s happening in our wild spaces.

For a number of years I used to work for a charity called Sustrans (as it says on my jumper) as a volunteer coordinator but now I work at Trent Rivers Trust. In my spare time I take part in a dungeons and dragons group (nerd) and love going to the cinema when I can.
