With biodiversity being high on the agenda in so many schools now, the purpose of this project is to engage with children and offer opportunities to provide them with an understanding, in an interactive way, of the bigger picture in which todays challenges sit. Our aim is to help deliver, through practical demonstration, the complex issue of biodiversity to the next generation, to influence and promote a positive effect, and ultimately improve the health of the planet, that impacts all our lives.
The pilot project, to introduce activity days on site, was sadly brought to an abrupt end back in March 2020 when national lockdown was first introduced, and we are patiently waiting for guidelines and restrictions to allow, before we can resume physical visits.
In the meantime we are delighted to confirm that we are working with six local primary schools, including; Alveston, Newbold & Tredington, Ilmington, Bridgetown, The Croft Preparatory School and Stratford Primary School, to design a new logo to represent the Alscot Biodiversity Project site. In the form of a competition, the art will be judged by an esteemed panel of industry experts;
