About this Event
Our Fledgling Rangers Programme is available to anyone aged 12-16 who wishes to gain their first experience of volunteering for a wildlife charity. It is a great opportunity for young people to take action for wildlife in Sussex, and improve their understanding of the working world and the charity sector.
If you are a parent signing up on behalf of your child, please put your child's name in the name section of the sign up form.
The programme will involve:
- Taking part in country-wide citizen science projects e.g. Big Garden Birdwatch
- Participating in two practical conservation tasks
- Meeting staff and volunteers at the Trust, and having the opportunity to learn about their career and what it means to work in conservation
What you need to know:
- The programme will run from mid-January to mid-April 2025
- Online sessions will be scheduled outside of school hours
- Practical outdoor sessions will take place during February half term and Easter holidays
- You do not need to have any prior experience, all training will be provided
- The practical conservation tasks will take place on land that is not reachable by public transport, so your parent/carer will need to drop you off and pick you up
Our Fledgling Rangers programme meets the volunteering section requirements of the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award
