Green Youth Rangers - taster session at Kiveton Community Woodland

Green Youth Ranger taster session run by TCV (The Conservation Volunteers)

Do you enjoy getting outdoors whatever the weather?

Are you young (13-18yrs old) and want to make a difference at your local green space?

Then the Green Youth Ranger sessions could be what you are looking for.

This new monthly volunteer opportunities is aimed at young people who want to connect with nature and look after their local green space.

Sessions last for a half day (10am-1pm) and take place at Kiveton Community Woodland.

No previous experience required, just the willingness to try new things and join in.

Activities vary from session to session depending on the season. You'll get the opportunity to try activities from practical habitat management, wellbeing in nature, and species monitoring.

July's session will focus on meadow habitats and some of the pollinator species that inhabit them.

You will learn how to identify the butterflies that are found on site and with guidance take part in the UK wide survey the Big Butterfly Count.

The session will also look at other pollinator species on site and we will share some helpful ID tips before completing the Flower-Insect Timed count.
