Join our Youth Campaigning Group
The Youth Campaigning Group is open for anyone between 11-24 years old, who lives, studies or works in Lancashire, Manchester or North Merseyside. The group will support the Wildlife Trust for Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside in the fight against natures decline and the climate emergency in the North West - a place where youth voice matters. No prior knowledge of the environment or wildlife is needed, just your enthusiasm and a positive attitude to make positive change. This group is primarily based online.
