About the event

This session is for 11 - 17 year olds interested in learning about what our wardens do to manage our nature reserves for wildlife. Join us to take part in some hands-on conservation tasks at Sweet Briar Marshes.

Before you attend your first session, you will be sent a document with useful information and advice for volunteers, and a parental consent and personal risk assessment form, which we will need you to fill out and return to us in readiness for the session. There is no need to complete a consent form again when attending any subsequent conservation sessions, unless you need to tell us about a change in your circumstances. Further joining details will be sent during the week before the event.

Please contact us at events@norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk if you have any specific needs or requirements in order to make your experience of this event more enjoyable.
