National Trust Kid's Council is looking for members

The National Trust is looking for 10 children between the ages of 7 and 12 to get their advice on how to make the outdoors more appealing to the younger generation. 



They are looking for candidates that are enthusiastic, have a love for nature and all things outdoors, and have a wild and creative imagination.

National Trust properties will be open free of charge for children throughout August and the successful applicants will be announced later in the year.

Winners and their families will be given free annual access to the Trust’s properties and canoeing, surfing and camping will also be part of the winning prize.

The 10 winners of the Kids' Council will meet throughout 2013 giving their valuable opinions in order for them to be put into place.

Applicants have until the 7th of September 2012 to apply.

Application forms can be downloaded here and can be sent back via email or post or handed in at a national trust property.
