Wild Days Conservation


Wild Days Conservation

Wild Days Conservation is a new way of learning about and contributing to the conservation of British Wildlife.  They offer comfortable holidays with lovely accommodation and really nice food where you will learn about British Wildlife and get outdoors as part of a team working for wildlife.  On one of their holidays you will learn about landscapes and species, how to shape habitats, and how to survey for signs of some of our most elusive small mammals.  You will then get out there and undertake some of the work, removing invasive plant species, studying the wildlife, and generally having a good time in nature.

To celebrate the return of Springwatch to the BBC this year they are offering a free place on our 2 day taster experience in Dorset, running from Thurs 26th to Saturday 28th June.  You can join them as they collect data for the UK Mammal Atlas project and help to manage the landscape at one of Dorset Wildlife Trust's most beautiful protected areas.
