LANSS was delighted to sponsor two students to do their Centre for Leadership Performance Dream Placement at Wild Garsdale Pike. This is a charity that works with young people to give them a voice and the opportunity to explore conservation and environmental issues whilst gaining practical conservation and research experience. Why not take a look at the Placement Week Film, showcasing some of the 2026 placements and including student and host company interviews. There are a few Land and Nature Placements represented, but if you take a look at 9 minutes 25 seconds, you will see the Wild Garsdale Pike entry. Will and Sophie were tasked with creating a 6 month long social media campaign to promote the outdoors and volunteering opportunites at somewhere like Garsdale Pike to other young people like themselves. It is a lovely showcase of a supporting role that is much needed in the land and nature sector.
Another update kindly shared by Northumberland College covering key points from Post 16 Skills White Paper, Schools White Paper, SEND Reforms and Level 3 Qualification Reforms as relevant to employers in the land based sector in terms of the impact on the workforce of the future.
