About this 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.
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'll be joining a Peterborough City Council Wildlife Officer to discover the species which call Basil Green Pond home. Record the wildlife found both above and below the water, spot signs of spring and help look after the local woodland with a litter pick. This session will provide opportunities to learn aquatic invertebrate ID through pond dipping, and how to record wildlife.
Please bring water and dress appropriately for the weather - Layers and waterproofs as needed. Long sleeves, trousers and hiking boots/wellies are recommended. Refreshments provided (hot drink and biscuits).
Please note:
Bookings are not confirmed until we have received your completed paperwork and consent form (for each child).
