National Education Nature Park
May 2025
Here are the latest Spring updates from the National Education Nature Park team.
Take your teaching outdoors
This spring, take your teaching and learning outdoors! Join the National Education Nature Park and explore the habitats right on your school, nursery, or college site ✨
Whether you’re new to the programme or already involved, exploring local habitats is a fantastic way for students to connect with nature, develop essential skills, and dive into real scientific research!
National Hedgerow Week (5-11 May)
Hedges are a common sight on school grounds, but did you know they’re the UK’s largest wildlife habitat and vital for stopping biodiversity decline?
This National Hedgerow Week, celebrate these incredible habitats by diving into activities from the National Education Nature Park!
Whether you’re new to the programme or already involved, explore the hedgerows and other habitats on your school grounds with your class—and start thinking about how you can create even more homes for wildlife together! ✨
International Day of Biodiversity (22 May)
Are you a teacher looking to make a difference for nature? Start this International Day of Biodiversity with the National Education Nature Park!
The Nature Park programme not only strengthens young people’s connection with nature but also empowers them to boost biodiversity on school grounds. From ponds and green walls to wildflower meadows and trees, every habitat they create helps wildlife thrive across the country
