John Muir Award 'CONSERVE' activities at Medina Valley Centre

Children will learn about ways in which the Centre's Nature Reserve is looked after. This might be by undertaking a survey of butterflies or by doing a practical task (such as litter picking or raking).

On their return home, they will contribute to a management plan for conserving biodiversity for their own school’s grounds (or a nearby habitat).  This could be to carry out an initial biodiversity audit or might involve devising a plan with the whole school community. This can be integrated into an Eco Schools programme.
