Opportunities in nature for young people

Nature's future is in their hands!

Engaging young people with the natural world has incredible benefits for the future of the environment and their own wellbeing.  It is our aim to future-proof wildlife conservation and encourage future leaders to take action for and on behalf of nature. 

We are embarking on new initiatives for young people that include training programmes, practical work events and campaigning which will not only build skills and provide practical experience in the conservation sector, but develop confidence and resilience to become environmental leaders and influence decisions at local and national levels.

Young people, when they understand the problems, are empowered to take action. When we listen to their voices (they) actually are changing the world and making it better for people, for animals, and for the environment because everything is interconnected.

As a horticulturist and youth worker I know the benefits that the outside classroom has to many pupils. It provides incredible therapy and a unique learning experience for many.
