greenspace? Do you want to know how to find out about
projects in your local patch? Have you heard about our

Youth engagement projects

Training and skills sharing
Warwickshire Wildlife Trust has now been
granted Reach Achieved status.
Reach is the quality practice framework for
youth action agencies and recognizes our good practice in working
with young volunteers and, in particular, involving young people in
making decisions about their volunteering.
Claire Cunniffe, Community Manager says,
"We are very proud to be added to the list of organizations who
have been granted Reach Achieved status. Our youth engagement work
is vital if we are to encourage future generations to value and be
a part of their local natural environment".
