Summary

Age 11-17? Join the Fens Youth Rangers to learn practical conservation skills for free. This month - habitat management at Dogsthorpe Star Pit

Detailed description

Join us for another fantastic session of learning real, practical conservation skills from industry professionals and making a positive impact for wildlife. You do not need any experience to attend. This month we'll be joining the Wildlife Trust's West Cambs Reserves team to assist with practical habitat management at Dogsthorpe Star Pit in Peterborough. These former clay pits are now a wildlife haven, rich in invertebrate and bird life. 


Youth Rangers is a group for secondary-aged young people (11-17 years) keen to make a positive difference to their local environment. We meet throughout the year at various Cambridgeshire nature reserves and would love to welcome you to our group.

Bookings are not confirmed until we have received your completed paperwork and consent form (for each child).

About Wildlife Trust BCN Great Fen

The Great Fen is a vast fenland landscape between Peterborough and Huntingdon, home to two National Nature Reserves - Holme Fen and Woodwalton Fen, protected for their unique habitat and the varied wildlife they support. The area is currently benefiting from one of the largest restoration projects of its type in Europe and the landscape is being restored and transformed for the benefit both of wildlife and of people. We offer a variety of volunteering opportunities and events for people to get closer to nature and make a positive impact on the environment.
