Youth Rangers
Youth Rangers
Currently, we do not currently have space in our Youth Rangers programme. We hope to have spaces opening up in the future and we will advertise when they become available.
Our Youth Rangers group is specifically aimed at people aged 14 – 18. The sessions are a way to meet other young people who love nature and develop practical and transferrable skills in a safe, fun environment. We focus on habitat and land management at the urban nature reserve, Grow Wilder. Tasks often include bramble clearance, path maintenance, pruning, wood chipping, weeding and planting.
