School grounds can provide excellent habitats for local wildlife. However, these areas are often relatively unexplored when it comes to wildlife recording. The benefits of getting outdoors in terms of learning, development and wellbeing are well documented, and learning about wildlife identification and recording can enable and inspire students to be young conservationists. From our own point of view, we’d love schools to help us fill gaps in our knowledge of the region’s wildlife as every record really does benefit conservation.

Please get in touch if you’d like to work together. We’re currently developing what we offer for schools and we’re keen to hear from interested schools about how we can make this work for you.
We hold extensive data on local biodiversity, dating back many years. This includes species records and habitat data. We’re really keen that our data is put to good use and therefore very willing to support students with access to data and help interpreting it. Normally we’re able to provide data at no cost for this use. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
We work with the University of Chester to offer work experience and internships to its students. Opportunities will be advertised through the University, but feel free to get in touch
