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 June session we will have an evening walk around Cambourne Nature Reserve where we'll practice our wildflower identification skills, or just enjoy a gentle summer stroll in nature. At the end of the session, there will be the option to do a quick tour of the Wildlife Trust BCN's head office.
