Re: Working Holidays

earthwatch were the first to do this , but now there are loads - fronteir are another good one - however they arent cheap, some are a rip off and at the end of the day are basically more like a holiday than a true placement - aproach them in the right spirit and you'll be fine but if you really want overseas experience you are probably better with VSO

in this country by all means dip your toe in the water with btcv natural breaks but again in the long run you would be better off with a propper volunteer position with btcv, wildlife trust, national trust, national trails, rspb or what have you.

disclaimer: the above is all only my opinion and i'm happy for other people to disagree with me
