Hi,
My name is Brennan Briggs. I am one of the RSPB’s Youth Nature Officers, based at South Essex Marshes.
We are a group of 5 teenagers who are employed to engage more young people with the work of the RSPB.
This year the Youth Nature Officers have several different roles, this is to ensure a wide range of different activities are available for young people.
Zoe and Jasmine work as Fundraisers. Their role is to think of new ways young people can get involved to raise money for the RSPB, such as quiz nights, sponsored walks and curry nights.
I work as an Assistant Warden, arranging warden experience days to give young people an insight into the role of an RSPB Warden.
Millie and Joseph work as Marketing Designers. Their role is to create displays and interactive tools to make sure people have a great time on their visit to a RSPB Essex reserve.
We all have loads of ideas such as music concerts, trails for Vange Marsh, Halloween activities, an ant farm display and loads more - so keep an eye out for us and our up and coming events.
That’s it for now. Our next blog will be up soon.
Brennan
