Mae'r Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol yn gofalu am 4,000ha o'r tirweddau naturiol mwyaf anhygoel a diwylliannol gyfoethog yn Sir Benfro, gan gynnwys, ffermydd ar arfordiroedd gwyntog, clogwyni Penrhyn Tyddewi a Phen Ystagbwll, Fferm Gupton a chorstiroedd cyfagos Cors Castell Martin, y coetiroedd hynafol ar hyd yr afon Cleddau a'n hystadau mawr, coediog yn Colby ac Ystagbwll a rhai o'r traethau gorau yng Nghymru.
What you'll be doing
You'll be helping to protect and care for habitats, wildlife, buildings and machinery. You'll pass on your knowledge and enthusiasm to encourage others to love this area as much as you do. Whenever and wherever you come across people, you'll take the time to talk to them and answer their questions, rather than rushing away to the next task.
You'll make sure that the conservation work and outdoor experiences on the land in your care are of the highest standard. You'll build relationships in the local community, proudly representing the Trust and letting people know about the work you and the team are doing.
Working alongside other rangers, you'll be carrying out a wide range of practical tasks to restore our woodlands, wetlands and rare grassland habitats. You'll be working with and occasionally supervising volunteer groups, teaching them new skills and helping them to perform at their best.
