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 14 October 2025 workshop overview – autumn in the meadows with apple pressing

Our October session will start by exploring how the traditionally managed reserve provides space for nature, alongside food and recreation for people. We’ll also be discussing how we manage the land for nature conservation on a walk around the reserve, before harvesting apples from our community orchard and pressing into juice. There will also be the opportunity to try out some nature-based crafts.

Please wear study footwear and warm clothing. Wellies can be borrowed on the day if needed.

Please bring a clean empty bottle to hopefully take away some fresh apple juice.
