Are you aged 12 – 18 and worried about the current state of the planet? Do you want to make a direct and lasting impact on Cornwall’s ecology and be a positive force for change?
Our award-winning Young Rangers ‘Climate Action Youth Group’ offers the chance to take action over the climate crisis, assist with environmental work on historic natural landscapes and develop your skills in countryside management.
Those involved regularly meet to undertake tasks ranging from heathland regeneration and monitoring flora and fauna to helping increase biodiversity at the historic sites our charity cares for.
As part of the programme, Young Rangers can also undertake professional training in traditional skills such as scything and Cornish hedging – accreditations you can take forward to help achieve your career or life goals.

Upcoming Dates 2026
All the sessions take place on weekdays in school holidays. We aim to run them as 4 hour sessions from 11am–3pm including a lunch break, but this could be changed to support the group with access to transport etc if needed.
We expect for participants to be available for at least five sessions.
