Look out for some great events

The Cameron Bespolka Trust

Don’t miss out….

Sign up for one of the many exciting up-coming events!

More and more children today have less and less contact with the natural world and research shows us that hands-on participation is one of the best ways to motivate young people to connect with nature. We are therefore very pleased to support so many worthwhile projects in the up-coming months that offer lots of immersive experiences:

If you're a passionate ornithologist, last call to submit your application for the Scholarship to attend Cornell Lab of Ornithology Bird Event 11th - 14th July, 2019 in Ithica, New York.

The BTO Bird Camp will be once again held in Thetford, Norfolk on 24th - 26th May. Now in its fourth year, this educational weekend is about helping attendees figure out how they can make nature part of their lives and careers. It is also a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded friends. Entries need to be returned to BTO by 10th March.

Cameron's Cottage

1000 Acre RSPB Reserve Franchises Lodge in the New Forest
Encouraging young people to deeply understand the need to look after nature as well as a broader understanding of diversity of life, is crucial. And what better way, then for them to be immersed in it, which is why we are so excited about Cameron’s Cottage. Together with RSPB, we will renovate this cottage which will be a base to host all sorts of activities that will engage, fascinate and encourage a life-long love of nature and our environment.
