Hi,

We'd be interested in having you come and talk with our students.

I think our students would be most interested in 'Careers in Conservation'

Would late February be possible?

Thanks

Hi 

This may well be possible. We are based in London so it can be quite expensive for us to travel for these types of events. Do you have a budget for covering travel expenses? We are a non-profit organisation.

Best regards,

Volunteer Advisor
