Osprey Leaders

Osprey Leaders is a group for 8 -16 year olds who want to meet with like-minded peers to share their enthusiasm for nature (especially ospreys!) with each other and gain the confidence to become advocates for wildlife within their friends and family, schools, communities and beyond! 

The group meets on a Sunday morning approximately every six weeks from February to November at Rutland Water Nature Reserve and undertakes activities which aim to increase participants’ understanding and appreciation of wildlife, the issues our wildlife and wild places face and how they can be protected. The sessions also aim to provide opportunities for participants to develop leadership skills which give them the confidence to share their knowledge and inspire others about nature.
