Membership of NATUR is open to anyone involved in the conservation of the living and cultural environment of land and sea with a special interest in Wales.
• Full Membership is available to professionals who can demonstrate the required level of knowledge and competency.
• Associate Membership is for professionals who have yet to gain the level of skill required for full membership. It is intended to help them gain that skill.
• Affiliate Membership is available to students, volunteers and other individuals who can demonstrate a passion for and commitment to conservation issues.
How To Apply
Associate Membership
Complete the associate membership form attached and return to the NATUR office with your payment. This is £30 for the first year, £50 from April 2011.
Full Membership
The application form is in two parts; the first part consists of personal information and the second part is for applicants to demonstrate their level of experience through the competencies. Full members may join as associates first; simply send in the associate form with a note to say you wish to apply for full membership shortly. A member of the Membership Group will then contact you to assist with the second part of the process.
You are very welcome to send in parts 1 and 2 together. Instructions are included on both parts of the form. An example of Part 2 form is attached below.
