About this Event

Are you 16-25 years-old and looking for work experience in an environmental role, something to add to your CV, or a career change to a green job?

The Parks Foundation are delivering free sessions for young adults, teaching green skills in parks across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole - no prior experience needed. With varied sessions available, develop a range of skills at our different events.

In this session you will learn about pond ecosystems, their importance, and how to manage them once they've been installed. You will be assisting with maintaining the existing ponds at Bourne Valley Nature Reserve, supported by Poole Ranger Team, and the infrastructure around it.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy footwear.

To register your interest and gain full access, or if you have any questions, contact us on: [email protected] - booking is required.

This session is aimed at young people who must be able to attend and work independently. In some sessions we will be using tools and working with other members of the public, so the attendees will need to be responsible for themselves and their conduct whilst attending.

The Parks Foundation charity enhances parks across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole so that people and wildlife can flourish.

The Parks Foundation | Registered Charity Number: 1159939

Our Young Adult Ranger sessions are part of the Youth for Climate and Nature scheme (YouCAN).
