Age 11-17? Join the Fens Youth Rangers to learn practical conservation skills for free. This month: orchid counts!
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.
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 at Upwood Meadows NNR joining the Reserve Warden and Wildlife Trust volunteers for the important annual orchid count. Learn how to identify the target species, how to record results and discover the other wildlife that benefits from the floristic diversity of the site.
