Women in Conservation Day

Join our Women in Conservation Day and help us create habitats in the sand dunes.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event

We are welcoming anyone who identifies as a woman to our Women in Conservation Practical Sand Patching Work Party! You don’t need any experience, just the willingness to get stuck in with practical work and a passion to learn about the amazing species that thrive on bare sand. The event is open to absolute beginners who want to learn about the nature around them, as well as experienced conservationists and naturalists.

Our female ranger team will be there to guide, teach and work alongside you. We will create a safe and unintimidating space, where you can be with like-minded people who are also interested in nature and getting hands on with practical conservation.
