Lakeside Youth Guardians at Lackford
Join the Young Wardens group at Lackford Lakes, a youth-focused wildlife and conservation club that offers exciting opportunities for individuals aged 17 and above to engage with nature.
Activities include learning to use tools, carrying out wildlife surveys, and contributing to reserve management. You'll find yourself outdoors, immersed in local nature reserves, gaining practical conservation skills and hands-on experience.
To participate, an adult must drop off Young Wardens and confirm emergency contact details. While specific details about fees for the event at Lackford Lakes are not available, it's recommended to check with the Suffolk Wildlife Trust for any costs associated with the sessions.
Remember to bring plenty of water, a packed lunch or snacks, and sturdy footwear with thick soles for the Young Wardens session. Long trousers are also required, and inappropriate dress may prevent participation.
Dogs (other than assistance dogs) are not permitted in the visitor centre, blue Trail near the lakes or hides, but are allowed on Sayer's Breck path and Church Walk.
For more information, contact Suffolk Wildlife Trust at lackford.engagement@our website or visit their events page. You can also reach out to discuss mobility requirements as sessions are on areas of the reserve away from footpaths.
Please note that Young Wardens cannot participate if they are sent alone. Contact information is required for Young Wardens volunteers.
