Fox Club

Fox Club is the junior group of the Cornwall Wildlife Trust. If you are wild about wildlife then getting involved is a must. Fox Club publishes it's own children's wildlife newsletter, Pawprint, each term.

Out & About Club

Are you aged 11-14yrs and interested in getting Out & About in the countryside?

Do you want to get away from your parents for a couple of hours whilst helping the wildlife of Cornwall?

If you want to learn more about the environment around you and get involved in projects to improve Cornwall’s habitats for the wildlife that lives here, then you might want to join our new Out & About Club.

This year we are hoping to work with young people on a variety of PARENT-FREE projects that will benefit the environment in a more practical way than our usual fun Fox Club events. Experts will lead these events and pass on their knowledge and expertise to young people all over Cornwall on such subjects as recording underwater sea life using advanced snorkelling techniques, identifying and controlling “alien invaders” in the countryside, and even learning to sail so you can have the opportunity to see dolphins, turtles and basking sharks.

If you are interested in joining this new club, just get in touch with Alison Forward at CWT HQ and she will send you some forms to complete and then we can start you on this new adventure! Don’t just sit around this summer – get Out & About with Cornwall Wildlife Trust!
