About the event

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.

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

Join us for another fantastic session of learning real, practical conservation skills, learning from industry professionals and making a positive impact for wildlife. You do not need any experience to attend. This month we're in the Great Fen, helping with site maintenance, tree care and learning about autumnal wildlife. Learn to use tools safely and how to care for a nature reserve to benefit both humans and wildlife.

Please bring water and dress appropriately for the weather - Layers and waterproofs, or hats and sun lotion if needed. Long sleeves and trousers recommended. Please wear sensible boots or wellies.

Please note, precise location and tasks to be confirmed. You will be informed of any changes but we will stay in this local area.
