Young Voices Workshop

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 are 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 2 hours.

Please ensure you dress appropriately for the weather and wear suitable footwear.

Only those booked onto the session can attend.

Please note these are drop off sessions, no accompanying parents please.

If the young person attending the workshop is under 18 years of age a parent will be required to complete a parent consent form.

Tuesday 14th 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.
