Derbyshire Wildlife Trust (the Trust) is a growing charity committed to achieving a vision of a Wilder Derbyshire.
The Trust maintains many nature reserves across the county and encourages the general public to get out and discover wildlife on their doorstep. They’re all free-to-access and families of all ages, and dog-walkers welcome!
The Trust has an enviable history of promoting and protecting nature and wild spaces right across the county since 1962, working together with local communities, local authorities, businesses, landowners and other organisations, supporting them to play their part in Nature’s Recovery.
As more people connect with wildlife, the Trust is working to build a strong, cohesive movement, inspiring people and communities to care and mobilising people to act for nature.
The Trust currently has an established and engaged board and is looking to add to this with new useful skills and experience to further support and promote its work, to help to determine new strategies for maintaining the county’s natural wonders and ensure they’re maintained for generations to come.
The Trust is now seeking up to two new trustees, ideally one of whom can lend their expertise in rewilding projects. Both trustees will bring their keen interest in strengthening nature’s offer for the benefit of us all – people; animals, plants.

Through our recently launched three-year strategy, ‘Making the Most of Every Day’, we have committed to a laser focus on improving the quality of life and experience of death of those we support – we need to ensure that as we scale, our commitment to this core mission remains unwavering. Indeed, during this period we also plan to double the number of those benefitting from our services during this period. We will also raise profile, diversify our income and renew our efforts to ensure we are a supportive and inclusive employer and service provider.
We are looking for up to three new trustees to complement our existing board and support our senior leaders to help ensure Noah’s Ark realises the bold ambitions overviewed in this strategy, and beyond.
