Hello! I’m Rebecca, the new project assistant for All Hands On the Don. I’m really happy that I get to be a part of this project, and I’m looking forward to helping create spaces for people to gain green skills, make connections, and express care for nature.
As project assistant I’m going to be helping out in various ways, so you’ll see me on practical volunteer days, citizen science and outreach events, and behind some of the media and publicity for the project. Another important part of my role is figuring out what I’d want to specialise in, which is something that I’m also looking forward to discovering! I’m currently training for my Field Identification Skills Certificate in botany and am exploring different ecological identification skills.
I’m currently based in Sheffield and I’ve previously volunteered for several of my local environmental organisations, such as the Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust, the South Yorkshire Bat Group, and DCRT. I’ve also worked as a seasonal assistant ecologist for an environmental consultancy in Sheffield, and as a communications assistant for the South Yorkshire Climate Alliance.
When I’m not working, I often like to put my energy into my hobbies. And as it turns out, the Venn diagram of my hobbies and your grandma’s hobbies is, actually, just a circle. I greatly enjoy baking with friends, crocheting, going on walks, and reading in the garden. To really seal the deal, I too love driving in my Honda Jazz.
