About the event

A monthly club for teenagers aged 11-16: discover wildlife, learn new skills, get outside, be active!

Activities vary throughout the year but include; learning to use tools to safely carry out practical tasks that contribute to the management of the reserve; carrying out surveys of key wildlife species, providing information that helps to inform conservation activities on the reserve.

Please bring a packed lunch as will be having a lunch break. 

Young Wardens can contribute to the volunteering or skills section of the Duke of Edinburgh Award. If you would like to attend Young Wardens for this reason, please get in touch to let us know: carlton.engagement@suffolkwildlifetrust.org

All Young Wardens need to be dropped off by an adult who can confirm their emergency contact details at the start of the session. Please do not send young wardens to the session alone as they will not be able to participate.
