Species Surveys - Young Adult Ranger Work Experience at Kingfisher Barn

Species Surveys - Young Adult Ranger Work Experience at Kingfisher Barn logo

Are you 16-25 years-old and looking for work experience in an environmental role, something to add to your CV, or a career change to a green job?

The Parks Foundation are delivering free sessions for young adults, teaching green skills in parks across Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole - no prior experience needed. With varied sessions available, develop a range of skills at our different events.

In this session, we will be surveying various species of moths caught overnight in our moth trap. You will learn why it is important to collect species data. Learn how we record this information, and how it influences our future work. You will then release the moths once the survey is complete.

Please dress appopriately for the weather and wear sturdy footwear.
