One of the aims of the Green Recovery Project is to facilitate outdoor education and allow students to engage with nature. We do this through two overarching themes, the first being exploration. This could be anything from walking through the woods and using our senses to enjoy the biodiversity around us, to dipping a net into our ponds to see what we can catch. The second theme revolves restoration, this means the students doing something that has a positive impact on the environment.
The first round of our spring to summer Explore & Restore Nature Days at Brockhole has been very successful. We have reached 749 pupils across 23 different schools from around the North West of England, and we have received some very encouraging feedback from the students who felt more connected to nature after their session.
