About the event

West Cambs 100s Youth Rangers is a series of activities for secondary-age young people to attend independently. There is something most months either on a Saturday morning, or on a Friday during school holidays. It might be a practical task, walk, social event, talk or workshop. These sessions are aimed at young people aged 11-17 interested in local wildlife and global environmental issues. Some activities are free.

For the August session we'll take a walk around Cambourne Nature Reserve with bat detectors, and if the weather is suitable, we may also toast some marshmallows around a fire.

Know before you go

Mobility

The paths around the reserve are mostly flat and accessible and we can adapt the route to suit the group. If we do have the fire, this will be in an area that has a hill and rough grass. Since we will be walking at night, you will need to be comfortable navigating the paths in the dark.

What to bring

Please be prepared for cool weather. Long-sleeves and long trousers will protect against bites, stings and scratches. You will need sturdy footwear and a torch (we have some spare torches if needed).
