RSPB to give under-24s free access to its nature reserves in ‘youth revolution’

Conservation charity will roll out two-year pilot scheme across UK as it seeks to increase young people’s engagement with nature

Europe’s largest wildlife conservation charity is giving free access to all of its reserves for those who are 24 and under as it attempts a “youth revolution” to better engage young people with nature.

The two-year pilot programme will be rolled out across the UK from 6 November, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) said in a document sent out to volunteers.
