If you have the knowledge and experience in sharing about biodiversity, plants and sustainability with members of public, join us as a guide to raise awareness and inspire visitors to take action for the environment.
What's involved?
Guides will be required to undergo training and assessment for each of the tour route before guiding visitors. After the assessment, guides will be paid based on GB's prevailing per hour rates for guides, and have to sign up to guide for at least one 1 date per quarter in the rest of 2023.
