A group for 11-18 year olds who wish to learn some practical conservation skills, improve ecological knowledge and enjoy the outdoors.

In this session we will be continuing our habitat work by completing hedgehog hides started last session. We will also be working in the woodland to raise the crowns of the trees, opening up the area and letting light in. The removed wood will be used to extend a dead hedge which will provide vital shelter for invertebrates and small mammals.

Join this group of young volunteers and get some hands-on experience of managing a nature reserve. Meet like-minded people, get active and have fun along the way.

Volunteering hours can count towards a Duke of Edinburgh Award or can be recorded as work experience on your CV, plus you’re helping to do your bit for the environment.

Please dress appropriately for the weather, bring suitable waterproof clothing (that you don’t mind getting dirty) and sturdy footwear. A drink/snacks are advisable though these can be purchased from the café.

Some areas that we will be working are not easily accessible – please get in touch if any adjustments are required.
