In the time I have been part of team, I have learnt many new skills, been part of exciting projects, grown in self-confidence and made so many wonderful memories.”

Image of Benjamin, BTO Youth Rep for Shropshire and former Youth Rep for Northern Ireland, alongside quote which reads: “Becoming a Youth Rep has allowed me to do so many things I never thought I'd have the confidence to do! From running my first guided walk to leading guided meditations and recording a BTO voiceover.”

Image of Alex, BTO Youth Rep for Isle of Man, alongside quote which reads: “Joining BTO Youth is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The past year has brought me so many new experiences, new opportunities including writing for BTO magazine, and I have developed new skills, such as public speaking, that I now enjoy doing! Along the way I have met so many amazing young people who are so inspiring, and it has allowed me to network more with local birders and people in the environment and conservation sector. Not to mention more opportunities for learning and birdwatching!”
