We are excited to announce a brand new project to deliver 10 inspiring Conservation Careers Talks to secondary schools, sixth forms, and colleges in the Poole area, free of charge. They will be delivered from November to March.

The talks will explore how young people can be involved with nature’s recovery in Dorset, the variety of roles available, and include advice on how to gain experience in the conservation field. With so many exciting projects happening in southern England, now is a fantastic time to get involved. We’ll discuss what opportunities are available locally, including grants, volunteering, and our very own Young Birders Club. There will also be time to ask plenty of questions, with a Q&A at the end.

We hope to inspire and encourage the next generation to pursue a career in conservation whilst raising awareness that working with nature is for everyone, no matter your background.

If you’re interested in a conservation careers talk for your school, please email schools@birdsofpooleharbour.co.uk

This project is kindly funded by the Cameron Bespolka Trust, who also support our free Young Birders Club for 13-18 year olds.
