Conservation Rangers at Low Barns

About

A group for 14 - 18 year olds who wish to learn some practical conservation skills, improve ecological knowledge, and enjoy the outdoors.

This session of Conservation Rangers will be part of the Great British bird watch survey. We will make bird feeders then take part in the national survey to monitor bird numbers in the UK.

Join this group of young volunteers and get some hands on experience of managing a nature reserve and recording the wildlife. You'll gain new skills and get involved in conservation tasks including surveying, planting and painting tasks during these sessions.

These 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 for the weather and bring suitable waterproof clothing. Wear sturdy boots/footwear.

Activities across different sessions may include:

Hand tool use
Painting
Planting
Grass cutting and raking
Litter picking
