Summary
Age 11-17? Join the Fens Youth Rangers to learn practical conservation skills for free. This month - tree management and wildlife ID skills in the Great Fen.
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're at The Great Fen. This amazing project is one of the largest restoration projects of its type in Europe. Transforming and restoring the land into lowland peatlands includes lots of different management. We'll be joining the local reserves teams to learn how to manage trees and habitats, how to ID trees and fenland wildlife, and enjoy the sights of winter on the fens. Refreshments provided (hot drink and biscuits).
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.
