Wildlife Trust BCN Update

Wildlife Trust BCN Christmas Fair poster: Friday 27 November, 3–7pm at Manor House, Cambourne

The Wildlife Trust BCN’s Team Wilder approach is all about supporting community action. We can offer advice, support, signposting, and training for free, for individuals, community groups, and schools who want help to do something linked to local wildlife or sustainability. Here are some of the things we have done in the Cambridge and Cambourne area over the last year. Supported the Haslingfield and Harlton Eco Group with their Family Day in Nature.

Gave wildlife gardening advice to Cambourne Church Community Garden. Connected existing Youth Rangers doing birdwatching as their hobby for Duke of Edinburgh, ran some birdwatching sessions, and advised them on binoculars. Trained some local walk leaders to help them understand how they can support participants in their group learn more about nature, and take action for wildlife. Supported local volunteers to stand up for nature in new developments.

If you have a project in mind, or are already working on something, and you think the Wildlife Trust BCN might be able to help with it, please get in touch.
