A group of young people are gathered in front of a staff member from Shropshire Wildlife Trusts, who is stood with his back to the camera, the logo of the trust visible on the back of his fleece. There are five young people facing the camera, but out of focus, with their attention focused on the staff member. They are stood in a wooded area, with tall trees with green leaves in bright sunlight.
