Green Ambassadors

Young People can become ‘Green Ambassadors’

A new project has begun, aimed at young people based in local towns in the Exmoor, West Somerset & North Devon area, to become ‘Green Ambassadors’ for their community. The project aims to show young people how and why landscapes are protected, by participating in activities such as pond dipping, green woodworking, and forest school activities, as well as practical conservation tasks and wildlife appreciation. There will also be residential trips to Exmoor National Park and the Quantock Hills AONB where skills workshops will be given.

The young people will then use their new skills and knowledge to work with local environmental enhancement schemes in projects that help to improve their own urban environment.

The project will run for a further 5 years and is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Exmoor National Park, Somerset Wildlife Trust, the Quantock Hills AONB Service and the Field Studies Council.
