OXFORDSHIRE'S biggest conservation charity is seeking new trustees from the worlds of farming and finance.

The Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wildlife Trust (BBOWT) is recruiting trustees to its board.

In particular the group said it needed a farmer or landowner who is farming for the benefit of wildlife and someone with experience of managing finance or risk.

Chairwoman Barbara Muston said: "We are looking for people who are keen to be involved in the future of wildlife in our three counties at a time of great opportunity.

"Trustees play a vital role in all aspects of BBOWT’s work. They bring their skills and experience to oversee the governance and strategic leadership of the organisation to make sure we stay on track for success."

BBOWT looks after 87 nature reserves across the three counties, giving safe havens for wildlife, and enabling more people to enjoy being close to nature.
