National Education Nature Park
The National Education Nature Park aims to empower children and young people to make a positive difference to both their own and nature’s future.
This free programme is providing educators with the support and guidance to put nature at the heart of education. Across all areas of the National Curriculum, it will give every learner in England the opportunity to develop a meaningful connection to nature, build skills for their future and contribute to nature recovery.
England’s primary and secondary schools cover an area roughly twice the size of Birmingham! So, nurseries, schools and colleges taking part in the programme will become a vast network of spaces across England that together form the National Education Nature Park. This pioneering initiative gives children and young people the opportunity to lead the way in mapping, monitoring and enhancing their learning sites for nature. An online map will visualise the collective difference that everyone’s individual actions are making for nature across the country.
