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 journaling
  • Guided walks

Each session will last for two hours.

Sunday 8 February 2026 Workshop Overview - Bird Surveying

Whether you’re into animals, the environment, or just love being outdoors, this event will show you how your curiosity can help inform our knowledge of bird populations.
