Natural Environment
We are looking for new members to join the Natural Environment Advisory Group, to share their unique
expertise and act as critical friends. Natural Environment is one of four voluntary Advisory Groups in the
Trust providing advice and provocation to the discussion of strategic topics commissioned by members
of the Exec team. The other groups are: Commercial, Collections & Interpretation, and Historic
Environment which together cover the areas where external volunteer advice is greatly valued. Natural
Environment Advisory Group members also act as a source of advice and peer review in relation to all
aspects of land, outdoors and nature, be that rural or urban, including: coast, countryside and farmed
land, wildlife, natural aspects of gardens or built structures, environmental change and impact of major
infrastructure. The key areas of Trust strategy this group influences are Restoring a healthy beautiful
natural environment and Looking after what we’ve got.
Growing Support
We are looking for new members to join the Growing Support Advisory Group, to share their unique
expertise and act as critical friends. Our Advisory groups are highly respected professionals who give
their time, both as individuals on site, and working as a group at bi-annual meetings, to advise on
strategy and significant projects. The aim is to share our Growing Support plans with a talented
community of volunteer advisers, to encourage debate, challenge and critique to enhance our thinking
and help us ensure successful delivery. Our plans span membership, fundraising, retail, retail online,
food and beverage, holidays and corporate partnerships. We are focused on four areas of
development: effortless engagement, building relationships, sustainable growth and diversifying
funding. This Advisory Group will support the Trust directorate responsible for creating 92% of the
Trust’s income and looks after over 6 million supporters. We are looking for people who are active and
expert in their roles, who are part of commercial or membership-led organisations, part of a visitor
business or engaged in fundraising activities.
Kind regards,
Isabel Gilbert
