LANSS was delighted to collaborate with Centre for Leadership Performance on placing 2 students to do their 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.

It is a lovely showcase of a supporting role that is much needed in the land and nature sector.
