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 12 April 2026 Workshop Overview - The Intertidal Shore

Step into a world that appears twice a day and disappears twice a day – the intertidal zone! This is the area of coastline that’s covered by the sea at high tide and revealed at low tide, creating one of the most exciting and unusual habitats in the UK. Join us for a hands-on shore exploration where you’ll discover some of the UK’s seaweeds and hidden creatures along Hamm Beach.
