Finding Nature’s Footprints has been providing opportunities to connect people and communities with the nature of the of the North Devon Coast AONB. The project and partners have worked closely with schools, community groups, youth groups and individuals to engage and enthuse people in our local wildlife.
Finding Nature’s Footprints coordinated the AONB Environment Group for young people aged 15-25 who were interested in gaining experience and confidence in the environmental sector.
The Environment Group met regularly to learn more about local wildlife and habitats, contribute to citizen science and gain practical skills through volunteering. A great experience for those interested in a career in the natural environment or just keen to get involved in the local area, this group is no longer meeting as regularly but still has a live WhatsApp group you can join.
