The Bardsey Island Trust Young Ambassadors programme returns this year, giving young people between the ages of 16-17 a unique opportunity to visit the island and gain new experiences of the islands nature, economy and community.
This year Young Ambassadors will take part in a number of workshops and day trips between July and November, with activities involving wildlife tours, creative workshops, and talks on the islands history and culture, and a chance to work alongside the Wardening team. The programme is a chance to meet other young people from the area and get to know the people who live and work on Enlli. All boat costs to the island are covered by the programme.
