Like most areas of the world Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales has seen, and continues to see, habitat and species decline. There is a continuous quest for a balance between farming, industry, development, tourism and conservation and the regeneration of our natural environment. Wild Garsdale Pike works with young people giving them a voice and the opportunity to explore conservation and environmental issues and gain practical conservation and research experience. They have a permanent Youth Steering Group of young people aged 13 - 25 years, who make 10 or more visits a year. Working with the trustees, they have ownership over the project and contribute to the decisions made. They also host local schools, community groups and charities working with young people, giving them the opportunity to get involved in conservation and practical work on the land. They aim to enhance the ecosystem and biodiversity of the land, connecting with other similar projects and the wider landscape and landowners, testing ideas with small scale research projects.
They're looking for more people who share our passion for nature, wildlife and the great wonderful outdoors to join our Youth Steering Group ....
