Aimed at Key Stage 1 this toolkit offers structured lesson plans, activities, and resources to introduce and deepen students' understanding of local wildlife habitats, biodiversity, and conservation.
By promoting hands-on learning and local nature engagement, students gain practical insights into the ways they can actively contribute to preserving wildlife. Activities include observing wildlife, creating wildlife-friendly spaces, and understanding ecological networks, all crafted to connect young learners with nature while building their conservation knowledge.
These curriculum-linked resources cover essential conservation themes, helping students understand the role of safe habitats and ecological corridors in protecting species. Toolkits for different key stages include materials such as topic webs, progression overviews, and knowledge organisers, making it easy for educators to integrate wildlife conservation into their regular curriculum. The programme also encourages ongoing conservation action, fostering a sense of responsibility and stewardship towards local ecosystems.
