About the event
Avon Wildlife Trust's Introduction to Conservation course is back for 2026! Whether you're looking to gain specific skills to help you on your next career step, learn something new about local wildlife or spend three days with like-minded young people - this course will have something for you!
Over 3 days, based at Avon Wildlife Trust's urban nature reserve, Grow Wilder on the outskirts of Bristol, you'll get a chance to immerse yourself in nature and get stuck in to activities, such as:
- practical tasks - weeding, scrub bashing
- owl pellet dissecting
- moth trapping
- learning birdsong
- mammal tracking
- and more!
For those interested, there will also be an opportunity for career mentoring and signposting to your future steps in the conservation sector.
This event is aimed at 16-20 year olds who are interested in a career in conservation.
