About the event

Youth Rangers is a group for secondary-aged young people (11-17 years) keen to make a positive difference to their local environment. We meet throughout the year at various Cambridgeshire nature reserves and would love to welcome you to our group.

Please note:
Bookings are not confirmed until we have received your completed paperwork and consent form (for each child).

Join us for a session at Ramsey Walled Garden to discover it’s history, help with gardening tasks and survey for wildlife within the gardens. The Walled Garden is thought to date back to 1840 and is today cared for by a dedicated team of volunteers with a variety of fruits, vegetables and flowers growing. In 2025, the gardens welcome visitors as part of the Apple and Harvest Fair in collaboration with the Wildlife Trust BCN Great Fen team.

Please bring water and dress appropriately for the weather - Layers and waterproofs as needed, hats and sun lotion if hot. Long sleeves, trousers and hiking boots/wellies are recommended. Refreshments provided (hot drink and biscuits).
