Dorset’s Nature Young Journalists

Dorset Local Nature Partnership and Dorset Wildlife Trust ran an online Young Journalist programme to train a group of fifteen 14–18-year-olds from across Dorset in journalism skills with a focus on environmental issues.  The project worked with Participation People (a national Youth Voice organisations).

The project raised awareness within the group of the climate and ecological emergencies in Dorset and given a greater understanding of the wellbeing benefits nature can give them.
