A Wilder Future for Warwickshire
I feel very passionate about the environment and it's degrading state or the loss of our natural environment. I feel passionate about spreading the message of protection for future generations.
Watch our Wilder Future for Warwickshire video, which takes you through the project journey, shares the stories of some of the young adult volunteers involved and calls other young people to action through our new Youth Committee.
The Wilder Future for Warwickshire Project ran January 2020 to May 2022. The project aimed to provide young adults with training in ecology, conservation, campaigning and communications, and inspire them and their peers to protect the natural world. Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was largely run digitally, through a series of interactive webinars and discussions. Since June 2021, in-person events also resumed, and volunteers were trained in practical conservation techniques along with species and habitat surveys.
The Wilder Future Project has now ended. However, as a young adult, you can still get involved with the work of the new Youth Committee. You can also become part of #TeamWilder and start taking action to bring about nature's recovery.
You can catch up on many of the webinars from the project by heading to the Wilder Future for Warwickshire playlist on YouTube or by exploring our Nature Webinars Hub.
In this initial webinar, former Hedgehog Officer, Dr Deborah Wright, discusses all things hedgehog and ways to help our prickly friends.
