Hello from Hartland, Devon

Hello, my name is Richard and I'm a Lancastrian currently living in Devon. A few years ago I discovered National Trust Working Holidays and became a bit of an addict, I started leading them and ended up doing 26 in one year! During this time a developed a passion for conservation and wanted to find out more. I began volunteering full time with The Trust on their Watersmeet and West Exmoor property and I'm now on the Careership programme training to be a countryside warden. I'm one year in to the tree year course and my property is the coastline of Bideford Bay, Hartland Point and a parkland at Dunsland.

Re: Hello from Hartland, Devon

hello Richard and welcome. Must say I'm very envious. Love Hartland,
the walk from there to Bude must rate as one of the best in England.
Also love Watersmeet and north Exmoor coast area. Any jobs going
