Welcome to my page! My name is Michelle Parsons, and I'm excited to share with you my passion for conservation. I hold a BSc in Zoology with Conservation from Bangor University and currently work as a Senior Bat Advisor, Project Coordinator for the Volunteer Bat Care Helpline (VBCH) & VBRV Lead at the Bat Conservation Trust (BCT) in the UK.
I've been fortunate enough to work in various roles within the Bat Conservation Trust, starting out as a Volunteer Engagement Officer for the National Bat Monitoring Programme (NBMP), Survey Administration Officer for the BatsinChurches Project, and as an NBMP Project Volunteer.
I currently work on the National Bat Helpline, where I provide advice and support to the public regarding bats. I also play a key role in recruiting and training volunteers for the Volunteer Bat Care Helpline, who handle many of the bat care enquiries we receive through the helpline.
Beyond my work with BCT, I also contribute as a Social Media Officer for the London Bat Group, helping to promote awareness and engagement across digital platforms.
I'm always eager to learn more and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the field, which is why I regularly attend webinars and training courses on a range of important topics.

Hi I'm Jen. I am 52 years old -I have been passionate about Nature & Wildlife my whole life and was brought up in the UK in Devon and then Norfolk, so always surrounded by the wild landscapes and what they have to offer! I now live in Lancashire by the sea but we have access to the countryside within 5 minutes in every direction.
My week is spent between working for The Wildlife Trust & running my Property Rental Business.

I Volunteer 2 other days a week with my local Wildlife Trust covering roles from Visitor Engagement and Marketing, to woodland conservation, physically tending the reserves, hedge laying, botany surveys, assisting with Beach School on Sand Dunes and much more.
I joined WildHub to connect with likeminded people and to complete courses, gathering helpful resources along the way .
I have begun to participate in various training courses and roles and additionally have become involved in local green woodworking groups, forestry societies and more - it has become an addiction!!! :)
Also, I am very passionate about mindfulness, wellbeing, forest bathing, wild swimming and spending as much of my time as possible outdoors.
I'm lucky to have travelled to many countries across the world looking at local wildlife, such as South Africa, Canada, USA, and lots of Europe. Additionally I donate to various Wildlife Conservation Charities both in the UK and abroad.
The environment, sustainability and conservation are the things I want to concentrate on from now on.
