About the event

Join us at Conservation Rangers. This session will include building hibernation chambers focussing on hedgehogs. We will also  continue our work on habitat creation and site management as well as art installations for the education hide.

Join this group of young volunteers and get some hands on experience of managing a nature reserve and recording the wildlife. You'll gain new skills and get involved in conservation tasks including surveying, planting and painting tasks during these sessions.

These volunteering hours can count towards a Duke of Edinburgh Award or can be recorded as work experience on your CV, plus you’re helping to do your bit for the environment!
