Tap into high quality resources that can help your school utilise the outdoor classroom, plan wildlife and environmental activities for your pupils, develop their observational skills and inspire their interest in the countryside
We would love the opportunity to build a relationship with all local schools and provide the teachers and children the experience and help that they need to continue and develop the children's interest in local wildlife.
The best way we can work with schools is through our special School WATCH Membership. This will provide the school with a library of support and educational lesson plans - helping to utilise the outdoor classroom; developing the pupils' observational skills and inspire their interest in the natural world. It could even contribute towards the 'Eco-School' status, showing their commitment to the environment and local wildlife.
This costs £75 for the year and School WATCH Members will receive the following publications full of interesting articles for you to learn more about your local wildlife, all sent four times a year to coincide with the seasons.
