Involve children and young people in increasing your setting's biodiversity
Create opportunities for your children or young people to actively contribute to your setting's biodiversity. This step is important in fostering a whole-setting approach to sustainability, and can be adapted to suit any age.
For example, activities can be carried out through links to the curriculum, using the results of your curriculum audit as a guide. They could also be incorporated into play or informal learning such as clubs, societies or extra-curricular activities.
This approach creates a hand-on learning environment that can enhance learning opportunities, and builds a sense of responsibility and connection to nature at any age. It can also have a positive impact on children and young people's mental health and wellbeing.
