A talented and enthusiastic new cohort of Beach Ambassadors graduated last night. They now join volunteers trained in previous years to lead nature discovery activities on Plymouth’s beaches. They will also run osprey viewing stations at Nelson Park and Long Beach, lead nature walks, rove the beaches answering questions about shells, birds and more and take beach-y nature to outdoor festivals in the area.

Throughout the summer, Beach Ambassadors will volunteer, sharing their love of nature with Plymouth residents and visitors. To find out what they are doing, when and where, check our calendar of events often.
