Youth Council

 I’m Abbie, I adore insects and their conservation! You’ll often find me at my local bee hive or getting involved with campaigns.

I love bees! They contribute a great amount to our planet through pollination and are surprisingly intelligent.

I joined the Youth Council because there are limited volunteering opportunities for young people to make a legitimate impact and I would like to help change that, no one should be excluded because of their age. 

I'm Eshan, outside of the LWT, I'm a regional youth activist. 

My favourite native animal might be the axolotl, just because of its interesting appearance.

 I joined the LWT YC to be more involved in the preservation of natural areas, especially because they're so prominent where I'm from, in Burnley.

I'm Caitlin, I'm a Lancaster University Student, currently studying for my Master's degree in Political Ecology.

My favourite native animal is the Barn Owl as they remind me of my summer holidays on my best friends farm in Norfolk growing up. 

I joined the Youth Council to meet likeminded individuals and to make a difference. It is important to me that we restore our connection with nature and conserve and protect our ecosystems

I’m Rose, a second-year student at Lancaster University for Ecology and Conservation. I have a passion for art and crochet in my spare time.

My favourite native animal is the Scottish wildcat because of they are the basis for Cat Sith creatures in Scottish folklore.

I joined the youth council because of the unique opportunities that the council offers. I love volunteering and the experience from the council will help me pursue my dream career!

I'm Amy, I'm a member of the youth council and I love to photograph nature.

My favourite native animal is the Red Squirrel as they have lovely tufted ears and a really bushy tail that looks like a question mark.

I joined the youth council to help conserve and manage our green spaces in ways that benefit both wildlife and humans.

I'm Euan and I am a member of the Lancashire wildlife youth council, when I am not at school I help out with beach school lessons and volunteer at my local park. 

I love kestrels partly because they are such a majestic animal but also because they hover over the ground when hunting in the sand dunes by perfectly matching their forward speed to the wind. 

I joined the youth council because I wanted to strive to raise awareness for our local ecosystems and how people can come together in order to protect our environment at large.

I’m Archie, I enjoy hiking in the countryside and I’m usually listening to music.

I love badgers because they are expert foragers and have a sense of smell around 800 times better than a human’s.

I would like to help improve and sustain local wildlife habitats and make LWT more accessible and appealing to people of all ages and abilities

I'm Phillip, I work in the conservation sector and engaging with landowners to arrange surveys! In my free time, you may find me on long walks or keeping on top of the gardening!

 I love Beavers due to their ingenious efforts to ameliorate the impact of flooding by constructing natural dam structures to reduce the flow of the water downstream.  

 I want to be able to raise the profile of younger people in the conservation sector whilst also being able to meet like-minded folk, who all bring a variety of knowledge to the table.

 I’m Jaz and I’m just a young person who loves nature! When I’m not in work you’ll find me at my local nature reserve training to ring birds, surveying for bats or out on the water with my Paddle board.

I love Long tailed tits because they’re small, pink Floofballs that are so cute! They also make incredibly impressive nests out of moss, lichen and spider webs! 

I joined the youth council to help spread the beauty of our natural world and show the joy it can bring, while hopefully inspiring more people to start taking some everyday actions to help Nature.

I’m Hannah, and I’m currently doing my Master’s in Conservation and Biodiversity at Lancaster University. When I’m not working on a project you can usually find me wild swimming or playing lacrosse.

My favourite native animal is the starling as they’re really fun to watch, especially when they group together and create murmurations before they roost.

I joined the Youth Council as I wanted to make a difference both bettering the environment and improving public awareness on how important it is to maintain and preserve our natural world.
