YOUNG naturalists from West Somerset have received an award for their work from The Wildlife Trust.
Somerset Wildlife Trust’s Nettlecombe Court Watch Club, near Williton, has been named Watch Group of the Year 2009 for the South-West.
Wildlife Watch is the trusts’ branch for junior members, and the Watch Group of the Year Award aims to recognise and celebrate young people’s love of wildlife.
Watch club members enjoyed a variety of activities to win their award including surveying earthworms, making reptile flaps, building dens, scavenger hunts, and looking for animal tracks.
Education outreach manager, Jessy Emery, said: “Somerset Wildlife Trust is really proud of the young people in West Somerset who won this award and it is great to see their enthusiasm for wildlife recognised.
“Wildlife Watch is all about inspiring young people to care about wildlife and the natural environment and we look forward to welcoming new junior members to our award winning group in 2010.”
