Our Young Voices Workshops aim to empower local young people aged 14–18 with the skills, knowledge and opportunity to stand up for the environment and make a difference. Come along and join a community of like-minded individuals with an interest in wildlife conservation and nature.
Dorset Wildlife Trust are hosting a regular monthly youth programme of activities, giving young people the opportunity to learn new conservation skills, experience nature and take practical action for the environment.
Activities across different sessions may include:
- Wildlife identification
- Wellbeing/nature journalling
- Guided walks
Each session will last for 2 hours.
Please ensure you dress appropriately for the weather and wear suitable footwear.
Only those booked onto the session can attend.
Please note these are drop off sessions, no accompanying parents please.
If the young person attending the workshop is under 18 years of age a parent will be required to complete a parent consent form.
For September and October's workshops please see the separate event as they will both be held at Lorton Meadows
