About the event
Calling all wildlife enthusiasts aged 18-25 - Skomer Young Birders’ Week is back!. Join us on one of our sessions, 6th – 9th September and 9th – 12th September.
Join like-minded young people for 3 nights of wildlife watching on Skomer - the trip will include Manx Shearwater chick weighing, moth trapping, Skomer vole surveys, cetacean watches, talks and night walks. It is designed for early career conservationists and wildlife enthusiasts to gain skills with lots of different taxa – it’s not just about the birds!
With support from the Nature Networks Fund and Pembrokeshire Bird Group, this trip only costs £52 (plus boat fee), which is significantly cheaper than a 'normal' stay. We are extremely passionate about improving access to the island and this is one of the ways we hope to help young people.
To book, please call the booking office on 01656 724100, Mon-Thurs, 9am-12pm and 1pm-4pm when booking opens on 8th December. Please email skomer.vo@welshwildlife.org with any queries.
