At Lackford Lakes Reserve, a unique opportunity awaits nature enthusiasts aged 17 and above through the Young Wardens group. While specific details about the programme at Lackford Lakes are currently not publicly available, let's take a look at a similar programme at Carlton Marshes, a Suffolk Wildlife Trust nature reserve, to get a sense of what the Young Wardens experience might entail.
At Carlton Marshes, the Young Wardens club caters to teenagers aged 11-16. The monthly club offers an exciting blend of wildlife discovery, learning new skills, practical conservation tasks, and wildlife surveys aimed at managing the reserve. Participants are expected to be dropped off by an adult who provides emergency contact details, and the session costs £7, including a packed lunch.
The activities at Carlton Marshes align closely with those at Lackford Lakes, with participants learning to use tools, carrying out wildlife surveys, and contributing to the management of the reserve. Both programmes may offer opportunities to earn a Duke of Edinburgh award, meet new friends, and gain practical experience.
However, when it comes to the specifics of the Lackford Lakes Young Wardens programme, there is currently no detailed information available from the search results. To get accurate information, it's recommended to directly contact the Suffolk Wildlife Trust or Lackford Lakes Reserve.
Here's a brief comparison of the two programmes:
