About the event

Are you 11 – 25 and keen to create a Wilder Norfolk? 

Find out how you can make a difference, get your voice heard and be inspired by creative perspectives on nature and the environment in Norfolk.

Drop in throughout the day to:  

• Discover how you can make a difference: From our new Youth Advisory Board to joining our team of young wardens, speak to NWT staff and volunteers about all the different ways you can help Norfolk’s wildlife. 

• Head out on a nature walk: Led by NWT Ambassador, Nick Acheson, join a nature walk from Norwich Arts Centre to explore wild corners of the city. 

• Take part in talks and discussions: Enjoy talks from our youth-led panel tackling nature and environment topics they’re passionate about – and get involved in the discussion during Q&A sessions. 

• Enjoy art workshops and demos: Drop by to enjoy nature-themed artworks – and make your own! We're welcoming creatives Kaitlin Ferguson and Climate Museum UK.

• Quiet space: Need time to take it all in? Head to our quiet space where you can relax and refuel.
