Erin said: "Prior to joining the Trust, I spent 5 years working in the corporate world of live music and events. My main interests are spending time out in nature and birdwatching. I love exploring new places and will happily spend hours roaming around woodlands, marshes and up hills, seeing what is around and just enjoying the calm that being out in nature brings."
Why Warwickshire Wildlife Trust?
Erin said: "I have been fascinated by wildlife since I was a child, so I enjoy the opportunity to combine my love of nature with my previous experience of customer service and providing people with an enjoyable day out.

Expertise
Grace says: "My background is in fundraising, and I’ve worked for organisations of all sizes, from a small community charity to a top University. My particular interest is people; I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and finding different ways for them to connect with the Trust."
Why Warwickshire Wildlife Trust?
Grace says; "I chose to join Warwickshire Wildlife Trust in 2022 for a few reasons. Firstly, I wanted to do something that would make a real difference, so when I read about the ambitious 2030 strategy and realised how transformational it could be, I knew I had to do everything I could to help make it a reality. Secondly, the climate crisis can feel overwhelming at times, but I find it reassuring to work for an organisation which is actively trying to solve the crisis. Lastly, I love spending time outdoors, and feel incredibly lucky to be able to explore beautiful Warwickshire as part of my role."
