Take part in hands-on conservation at Spring Wood, learning to use tools safely and manage green spaces while supporting local wildlife. Activities vary through the year and can include wildlife surveys, with a chance to work towards your Duke of Edinburgh Award.
Young Wardens is a hands-on outdoor conservation session at Spring Wood in Ipswich for young people aged 11 to 16. It offers practical experience in managing green spaces, learning how to use tools safely, and taking part in activities that support wildlife and conservation work in the local area.
The group also gives participants a chance to work towards their Duke of Edinburgh Award while meeting new friends and spending time outdoors. Activities vary through the year and may include wildlife surveys and other practical tasks.
The session takes place entirely outside, so participants should be prepared for the weather, wear long trousers and sturdy footwear with thick soles, and bring a drink and a snack. An adult must drop participants off and confirm emergency contact details at the start of the session.
