More Trees is passionate about growing, planting and caring for trees. Since 2008, we’ve planted over 16,000 trees and now grow our own saplings from seeds collected locally. We operate 17 community tree nurseries, in various settings including schools. We have three amazing employees, a great board oof four trustees and an army of committed volunteers – and we’re looking for two new Trustees to join our Board!
We hope one of our new trustees will become Treasurer so would like to see applications from candidates with previous treasurer or financial management experience. We would also encourage applications from those who may be interested in growing into the role of chair of trustees in the future and have previous board and/or chair experience. Applications from those with no finance or board experience would also be welcome and we encourage applications from our existing volunteer base.
Finally, we are also keen to hear from individuals:
- Based in the local area, around our central Hub in Twerton
- With experience of woodland creation, tree nursery production, or local politics
Our trustees play a vital role in ensuring More Trees achieves its vision. We want enthusiastic contributors who share our values and have a strong interest in what we do. Trustees are responsible for:
- Making collective decisions on the strategy and direction of the charity
- Ensuring we stay true to our charitable objectives
- Supporting in various ways, depending on their knowledge and experience
If you have the passion and commitment to join us then we want to hear from you. We can provide support and training, so if you are interested in our work and keen to get involved, but not sure if you have the right experience, do get in touch for an initial chat.
