A new project that empowers young people to make a positive difference to both their and nature’s future
The Natural History Museum is leading a partnership to establish the new National Education Nature Park and Climate Action Awards. The project aims to ensure every young person in England has the opportunity to develop a meaningful connection to nature, to understand the concepts of climate change and biodiversity loss and feel able to do something about it.
The Natural History Museum together with the Royal Horticultural Society, are giving students the opportunity to transform the green space at their place of education into their own Nature Park.
An accompanying awards scheme will help children and young people develop skills and knowledge in biodiversity and sustainability, and celebrate their climate action efforts.
How you can help boost biodiversity:
Outdoor Classroom Day is on the 18 May. Mark the day with free learning resources from Learning Through Landscapes, or get involved in Nature Overheard, a new community science project.
The Department for Education has teamed up with the Eden Project to provide packets of wildflower seeds to all primary schools to mark the King’s Coronation. Plant yours following the instructions on the packet to begin your biodiversity journey.
