The Shropshire Hills National Landscape covers quarter of the county and there is a need to do much more to help nature recover, to conserve what is left and to help address the environment and climate crisis facing us.
The Shropshire Hills Landscape Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation established in 2016, dedicated to promoting the conservation and enhancement of the Shropshire Hills National Landscape. Working alongside the Shropshire Hills National Landscape Team and Forum, we inspire people, communities, and organisations to actively support the area and secure its natural beauty for the future.
If you have experience in these areas and are interested in getting involved, we'd love to hear from you.

Becoming a trustee
As a charity trustee, you will share collective responsibility with fellow trustees for the governance, strategic direction, and financial oversight of the Shropshire Hills Landscape Trust. You will ensure the Trust fulfils its charitable objects, maintains high standards of governance, and maximises its impact in conserving and enhancing one of England's most beautiful landscapes. This is an opportunity to make a tangible difference, working alongside like-minded people who share your commitment to conservation and community engagement. You will develop valuable governance skills while supporting grassroots projects that directly benefit wildlife, landscape, heritage, and local communities across the Shropshire Hills.

- Up to seven appointed trustees (three-year terms) selected by the existing trustees for their skills and experience
