Julie MacDonald

"Through my six months working at the World Land Trust I have been given valuable experience of a large range of activities associated with working for a conservation charity. I have enjoyed working within the WLT office and feel I have benefited a great deal from the internship. It was a great opportunity to learn about all aspects of international conservation project fundraising and administration, and I believe it has given me a good basis for forming a career in conservation."
Where is Julie now?
"Following the completion of my internship, I was offered the position of Data Officer for Greenspace Information, for Greater London. This is London’s green space and biodiversity records centre, attached to the London Wildlife Trust. I am in charge of updating the open space information for the whole of Greater London. This involves working with data and liasing with authorities such a Natural England and the Environment Agency. The office experience, skills and networking I leant at WLT are proving useful every day."
