Step into Science and discover how Brilliant Butterflies thrive on London’s chalk grassland nature reserves.
This is an exciting, free opportunity for young people aged 14 – 16 to learn and develop key skills in urban nature conservation. This hands-on course takes place at Hutchinson’s Bank, over a number of weeks. Join conservation professionals from London Wildlife Trust to learn about the importance of pollinating insects and enjoy the great outdoors.
Young people will gain a Level 1 Media and Journalism accreditation with Headliners (UK) and work towards a John Muir Award. Providing the unique opportunity to record experiences in a number of innovative ways.
Work gloves for the group will be covered and travel expenses within London.
