As we all know many valuable insects, which we both rely on and love such as bees and butterflies, are rapidly declining in number due to extreme loss of their habitat and over use of pesticides.
Research shows that lots of little reserves act like one massive reserve for wildlife, which move between them using ‘wildlife corridors’.
We can work together to create new wild spaces across the city in school grounds. By committing to create a space, that is at least 2m by 3m, that you will sow and plant with a range of native wild flowers and plants you will be providing a big benefit to your local wildlife.
These spaces will also be a great opportunity for children to study and learn about the wildlife they find in them.
This project has been set up by myself and Tom Walmsley who works with schools to bring young people into direct contact with our natural world and with a more sustainable society.
We will be launching the project in September with a small group of trial schools and then engaging more schools in the Spring. Please contact me if your school would like to register an interest in this.
