For the last 4 years we’ve hosted our annual Youth Summit, with young people across the world of conservation sharing their stories.
We can’t wait to welcome you once again to this year's event, taking place on Saturday 8 November.
We are once again inviting young people 16-35 years old, from across the country to share their experiences, knowledge, and passion for nature and conservation.
This year's theme is "Getting into conservation" and we would love to hear your stories about your careers, who inspires you, and how you found your path in the conservation world.
Registration cost includes entry to Chester Zoo, access to incredible workshops, presentations, guest speakers, lunch, and refreshments.
