About the event

During this Youth Ranger session, for anyone living in Luton or Bedfordshire who is aged 12-21yrs old, we will be helping to create a new hedgerow and wildlife corridor linking Hay Wood and the top of Bradgers Hill at Stopsley Common.

We will meet at the far end of the narrow car parking area at the Inspire Leisure Centre, between the swimming pool and main road. From here it is a short walk to the planting area. There will also be hot drinks and a chance to toast some marsh mallows before the end of the morning.

Tools, refreshments and safety gloves will be provided to all those attending. It is a great chance to meet other young people interested in the natural environment, to learn new skills and to explore a variety of green spaces.

Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy boots, no experience is required just some enthusiasm and willingness to join in. Staff are on hand throughout the session and do contact us before this event if you have any queries. If you have not attended a Youth Ranger session before there is a parental permission form to complete for those aged under 18.
