Youth Action for Nature
Event details
About the event
Suffolk Wildlife Trust is Suffolk's nature charity, dedicated to protecting local wildlife and restoring the county's natural environment.
To help bring back nature, Suffolk Wildlife Trust works with communities acros Suffolk to create greener, nature-friendly spaces in towns, villages, schools and businesses.
That's where you come in! Led by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust Youth Board, we are bringing together young people and youth groups together from across Suffolk to meet, collaborate, and share ideas about how you can get involved with nature and eco projects near you.
This is the perfect opportunity to come together with like-minded young people and youth-led community groups, share ideas and learn from each other.
The day will consist of youth-led talks and workshops, giving you the opportunity to get involved and build community.
The event is FREE however booking is required.
Youth groups attending:
Speak to members of local and national youth groups campaigning for a better future for nature. Join us for talks and workshops hosted by a variety of groups at our Youth Action for Nature Day.
| Suffolk Wildlife Trust's Youth Board | Our Youth Board is the voice of Suffolk’s young people. We empower our members to take action for nature, get involved with decision making, and campaign for environmental issues. Youth voices need to be part of conversations about how we protect nature. |
| UK Youth for Nature | UK Youth for Nature is a network of 16 to 35 year olds from across the UK calling on the government to act on the nature crisis. We specialise in creative campaigns that facilitate positive conversations between young people and decision makers. |
| Force of Nature | Force of Nature is a youth-led non-profit that works at the intersection of climate change and mental health by mobilising for climate action. Through their free, research-backed programmes they help young people, aged 16-35, to feel empowered and develop the practical skills they need to take ongoing action. |
| Kids Against Plastic | Kids Against Plastic (KAP), was founded back in 2016 by sisters Amy and Ella Meek, at the ages of 12 and 10. Their mission is to empower young minds to tackle environmental issues while building skills and confidences. What began as a small campaign has evolved into a global movement inspiring youth. |
| Youngwilders | Youngwilders’ dual mission is to accelerate nature recovery in the UK and involve young people in the process and movement. They do this through managing youth-led rewilding sites across England and Wales, delivering a series of projects including practical volunteering, ecological education, a paid traineeship programme and annual youth summits. |
