Volunteer Photographer

Nature is amazing and we want to tell everyone! Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is creating a county rich in wildlife and we need passionate volunteers to help people develop a connection with nature. We know that great photographs showcasing our amazing people and places really CAN paint a thousand words… and that’s why we need you!

Are you a keen photographer with a passion for the natural world? Do you love discovering new people and places and documenting them in pictures? Would you like to support Yorkshire Wildlife Trust by using your photography skills to help us build a stock of high quality images that we can use on our website, membership magazine and in our Volunteer publications?

We are looking for photographers who can take great images either of landscapes, people, or both! So whatever your specialism, we would love to hear from you. (Please note, though, that we have a good stock of wildlife images at the moment, so you wouldn’t be specifically required to take these… though of course you’d be welcome to for your own enjoyment!)

You will be:

• Helping us to build up our stock of good quality images of our nature reserves across all four seasons of the year
• Visiting our reserves across Yorkshire to photograph our events and meet our visitors, volunteers and staff
• Going along to some of our conservation Task Days to get to know our amazing volunteers and capture their hard work on camera
• With the Volunteering and Comms team at YWT, agree a plan for attendance at events and reserves where we’ve identified we need good quality, up to date images (this can be flexible depending on your availability)
• Attend a variety of events which are open to the public, such as bat walks, forest schools and crafting sessions, gaining the consent of visitors to use any personal images
