Hello navlix, and welcome to the forum.
Note that "wildlife volunteering" is wrong. Try:

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

"within next year" is wrong. You can use either "within the next year" (at some point in the twelve months starting today) or "next year" (at some point in 2021).

Thank you so much!

And I just wanted to ask if I could say "I have been planning" instead of "I am planning"?
