National Education Nature Park
February 2026
The February updates from the National Education Nature Park team.
Explore the Map
The Nature Park Map brings together all the data you and other education settings across the country have gathered and allows you to explore all of the data you’ve collected from various activities in one place. Dive in and see the scale of the Nature Park and impact you are having so far.
Tracking changes
Made changes on your site? Use the Tracking Change tool to measure your progress towards boosting biodiversity, compare against your starting point and be a part of real nature recovery research by marking any changes you make to your site on the Nature Park Map.
Free Breakfast Clubs and the Nature Park
Hear how St Bede’s Catholic Primary and Nursery School in South Shields have combined Free Breakfast Clubs with their Nature Park journey.
Start of term webinar
Our start of term webinar took place in January, with all of the latest news from the programme, and what’s coming up, particularly with our curriculum resources.
Primary: Storytelling with the Nature Park guide
To mark National Storytelling Week we’re spotlighting our Storytelling guide, aimed at those teaching KS1 and KS2 and linking with the English curriculum. Storytelling can provide a mechanism for learners to develop skills to help tell their Nature Park journey, communicate their vision for their sites and share their experiences.
Secondary: Exploring real datasets
Use these real datasets with your learners to practise key skills in Science, Maths, and critical thinking. Learners can think about the gaps or limitations of these datasets as a starting point for planning how they might do their own scientific investigations which can contribute to our shared understanding of nature.
Share your insights and help shape the future programme
We’ve launched a short online survey to understand how we can best support the thousands of educators and learners taking part in the Nature Park.
No matter where you are on your Nature Park journey or what role you have within your education setting, we’d love to hear about your Nature Park experience so far!
The survey deadline is Monday 2 March.
