About the event

Our Young Voices Workshops aim to empower local young people aged 14–18 with the skills, knowledge and opportunity to stand up for the environment and make a difference. Come along and join a community of like-minded individuals with an interest in wildlife conservation and nature.

Dorset Wildlife Trust is hosting a regular monthly youth programme of activities, giving young people the opportunity to learn new conservation skills, experience nature and take practical action for the environment.

Activities across different sessions may include:

  • Wildlife identification
  • Wellbeing/nature journalling
  • Guided walks

Each session will last for two hours.

Tuesday 15 July 2025 Workshop overview - Citizen Science on the Seashore

During this workshop we’ll learn more about different survey techniques and how they help to monitor changes on the seashore. We’ll be heading out onto the shore at low tide to show you how to identify some of the more common marine species from seaweeds and crabs to sea snails and starfish while carrying out a citizen science survey.

Wellies recommended.
