Join BTO Youth Representatives Saffron and Rhys for a relaxed guided walk around Glan y Môr Elias and Morfa Madryn Local Nature Reserves in North Wales. The event is designed for young people who want to get outside, meet like-minded people and learn more about local wildlife in a friendly, supportive setting.
During the walk, participants will explore the saltmarsh reserves and surrounding woodlands, looking out for wintering waterfowl, waders, warblers, crests and raptors. The event is pitched at beginner and improver level, so no prior knowledge or equipment is needed, and the focus is on active listening, observing birds and connecting with nature.
The route is a slow-paced 5 km round trip along wide, clear and flat paths, with benches available along the way. It is not suitable for wheelchairs or those with reduced mobility. Participants are encouraged to bring weather-appropriate clothing, waterproof footwear, water and, if they wish, lunch or snacks.
Binoculars are optional.
