This autumn/winter the RSPB will be running a youth volunteering group once a month on a Saturday with the aim of encouraging young people to join them and gain skills and experience in woodland habitat management to help with career progression or to improve their connections to nature, as well as having the opportunity to meet like-minded people. The youth group will run one Saturday a month between October and March, and will alternate between Nagshead and Highnam Woods. On the reserves a range of tasks are carried out such as coppicing, brash clearing, ride widening and more. No prior experience is necessary as training will be given.
