Learn more about the apprenticeship from Elli Foxton, a previous Nature Friendly Farming Apprentice

Ellie is a past Cumbria Connect Nature Friendly Farming Apprentice and was studying for the Level 4 Countryside Ranger qualification. She did not come from a farming background and so used volunteering opportunities, with the RSPB, to build her CV and skills set.
