Through their knowledge and enthusiasm, our Speakers are a key way for us to connect with the public and to be ambassadors for our work. If you enjoy meeting people, have experience of public speaking, and want to make a difference for woods and trees this could be the volunteer role for you.

Travel details

You will need access to a phone, a laptop, the internet, and an email address, as well as the ability to get to locations within roughly an hour’s commuting distance to the centre of Glasgow, either by car or public transport.

Expenses will be reimbursed for return journeys from home based on public transport cost or mileage at standard rates for the Woodland Trust.
