Summary
Age 11-17? Join the Fens Youth Rangers to learn practical conservation skills for free. This month - Butterfly survey at Woodwalton FenDetailed description
Join us for another fantastic session of learning real, practical conservation skills from industry professionals and making a positive impact for wildlife. You do not need any experience to attend. This month we're in the Great Fen, visiting Woodwalton Fen National Nature Reserve to conduct a Butterfly Transect. A Butterfly Transect is a walk along a set route that is divided into separate sections. In each of these sections the number of butterflies are counted along with the climatic conditions. Using this method comparisons can be made year-on-year and between transects. Refreshments provided (hot drink and biscuits).
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.
