Photography & Comms Workshop - Young Person Conservation Event (13-17)

Join us to learn more about wildlife photography and how we can use communications, such as social media and posters, to inspire others to take action for nature. The young people will develop an idea for a communications project to promote a conservation idea. Two of our staff will lead the event.

This event is part of a three-month series of events, each occurring on the last Sunday of the month. The sessions aim to give young people experience in conservation tasks and develop their green skills. The Smithills Estate team plans to start up a youth volunteering group in the spring, which the young people will soon be able to join. This will continue after April through 2025. All young people need to be accompanied by a supervising adult until registered as a volunteer. Accompanying adults are invited to join in the activity during their attendance.
