Women in Conservation Practical Work Party
Looking for a way to get outdoors and learn a new skill? Join our Women in Conservation Practical Work Party.
- Booking essential
- Free event
Our ranger team are welcoming all women to our Women in Conservation Practical Work Party. You don’t need any experience, just the passion to learn and pick up a pair of bowsaw and loppers. Our female ranger team will be here to guide, teach and work alongside you.
This will be a safe and unintimidating space, where you can be with like-minded people who are also interested in nature and our local environment. You'll learn about coppicing and gain experience - it's ideal for those looking to enter into the conservation sector, and for those who just want to spend a day in the woods.
In the afternoon, for those who would like to stay, we’ll go for a small walk around the site and talk about the wildlife and ecology of Sizergh.
