Volunteer Media Editor (Leeds Wild Spaces)

Wild Spaces is a UK-wide programme run by Butterfly Conservation. The aim is to provide a simple and easy way for everyone to get involved in helping butterflies and moths.

A Wild Space is any space enhanced to help butterflies and moths thrive - including window boxes, pots on patios, wilder areas in gardens and wildflower meadows in churchyards and parks. They provide space for nature and places for people to access and enjoy.

This role is part of the Leeds Wild Spaces project, which is being run in partnership with Leeds City Council, Butterfly Conservation Yorkshire Branch and is funded from the Hiscox Foundation, Leeds Community Climate Grant & Peter Sowerby Foundation and a contribution from Butterfly Conservation Yorkshire Branch.

The project will create 8 new Wild Spaces across Council-owned parks / amenity areas across Leeds, with a focus on areas of green space deprivation and meadow creation and care.

We are looking for volunteers with a creative flare to help us capture key project moments using their photography skills- our volunteer media editors inspire people to act for butterflies and moths.

At Butterfly Conservation, we want to create a world where butterflies and moths are enjoyed by everyone, forever. We rely on social media and communications work to educate people about these beautiful creatures and how they can help them.

In this role, you will work with the Leeds Wild Spaces Project Officer to join them at key 'project moments' to capture local community and partner involvement across Leeds. You will also learn about butterflies and moths, meadow management and be part of the Leeds Wild Spaces team.

Please note that this role will only involve photography during key project moments and will not involve any work on social media. The role will only span 6months, lasting the duration of the Leeds Wild Spaces project.
