Species Surveys - Young Adult Ranger Work Experience at Watermans Park

Species Surveys - Young Adult Ranger Work Experience at Watermans Park logo

Are you 16 to 25 years-old and looking for work experience in an environmental role, something to add to your CV, or a career change to a green job?

The Parks Foundation are delivering free sessions for young adults, teaching green skills in parks across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole - no prior experience needed. With varied sessions available, develop a range of skills at our different events.

In this session, we will be surveying various species such as butterflies, swifts, and meadow flowers, using different techniques to capture data. You will learn the importance of the species and why it is important to collect species data. Learn how we record this information, and how it influences our future work.

Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy footwear.
