    George was with us for 4 days in January 2025, and spent a half day with each team with Sustainability and Climate, getting involved with meetings, research and even a day of tree planting! Here is a short testimonal from him:

    "I enjoyed being able to see all parts of the Enivronmental Sector in a public body, how they work and what they do. Being able to get involved with current work was a very useful experience as I felt involved. Thank you all for the opportunity to complete work experience with you, I appreciate the effort you went through to plan and get me involved. Lovely atmosphere in the office making me feel comfortable and myself instantly. Brilliant week!"

    Hayden was with us for 2 days a week in July 2024, and was a valued team member for that period of time - helping at Braywick Nature Festival, practical conservation tasks and with our school visits. Here is a short testimonial from him:

    "I loved my time at Braywick Nature Centre. It was fascinating, eye-opening and inspiring to see how the Natural Environment Team’s work makes a real difference around the borough and across Berkshire more widely. I got involved in a wide variety of tasks which demonstrated the sheer scope of the team’s work; from hands-on land management exercises, to research and policy work, to nature education and even social media outreach. I would strongly recommend a placement at Braywick to anyone interested in nature conservation, sustainability or ecology."
