About the event

In this session we will be taking part in the City Nature Challenge, so we will:

Find Wildlife - It can be any wild plant, animal, or any evidence of life found in our city. (Wild means that it wasn’t put there)

Take a picture - or record a sound of what you find. Be sure to note the location of the animal or plant.

Share - your observations through the iNaturalist app.

Your participation will make an impact on understanding biodiversity and coexisting with nature.

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!

Please dress for the weather and bring suitable waterproof clothing. Wear sturdy boots/footwear.

Activities across different sessions may include:

• Hand tool use
• Painting
• Planting
• Grass cutting and raking
• Litter picking
