About the event

Cambourne area Youth Rangers is a series of activities for secondary-age young people to attend independently. They are either in Cambourne or Trumpington Meadows Nature Reserves and occasionally make use of other locations nearby. There is something most months either on a Saturday morning or on a Friday during school holidays. It might be a practical task, volunteering at an event, walk, social event, talk or workshop. These sessions are aimed at young people aged 11-17 interested in local wildlife and global environmental issues, and are a great way for them to meet like-minded people. Some activities are free. Parents are invited to join occasional sessions. 

For the May session we will be helping out at the community garden at Cambourne Church. There will be a variety of practical tasks to help wildlife, like tree planting, and building a butterfly bank, with perhaps the option to input into some information boards. The Wildlife Trust BCN Communications Team will be popping down to record some footage to create a short video about wildlife gardening, so there is the option to take part in this also. The sessions finishes at lunch-time, and young people and their parents/guardians are welcome to bring a packed lunch to eat together.

Booking is essential because we need to have parental consent and emergency contact details

Please note:

• Toilets will be available for this session
• We try to be as inclusive as possible, but this session may not suit every young person, and we cannot provide 1:1 support
• Parents/guardians will be asked to fill out a consent form to include relevant issues to help us ensure participants get the most out of the session

Please consider the environment before deciding to drive a long distance to get to this session.
