Wildlife Conservation Society

Who are we?

We are a group of students passionate about conserving our planet and the wildlife inhabiting it. As a collective dedicated to wildlife conservation, we focus on appreciation of the environment both locally and nationally, through a variety of volunteering, socials and days out. If a trip outdoors with like-minded people is your cup of tea, we'd love to have you on board!

Our principles:

• To promote awareness of wildlife conservation and its importance in the modern world.
• To provide a means for like-minded students to socialise and discuss wildlife conservation and develop their skills in these areas.
• To work with the University to expand opportunities available to students interested in wildlife conservation.

Key Events

As an Ecology-based society, we aim to experience the outdoors as much as possible. Our scheduled events consist of a mixture of nature walks, volunteering in the local community, and socials both indoors and out in the Bournemouth area. 

We focus on exploration and appreciation of local nature, particularly around the Bournemouth coastline. We aim to visit local areas like Poole Park & Harbour, Sandbanks, and the New Forest frequently.

When and Where?

Events are planned by the committee roughly once a week, though this may change at times due to attendance, travel restrictions, or weather. Events aim to comprise a healthy mix of socials (craft sessions, clubbing, movie nights etc.) with days out in nature, volunteering, and guest speakers. Members of the society usually suggest ideas for these events, which are then voted on, meaning most events are community-decided.
