Magical Minibeasts

For those unable to benefit from a visit to one of our educational centres, Kent Wildlife Trust has developed a range of outreach opportunities suitable for schools, events and other educational groups, that will bring the wild to you!
Our school-based learning opportunities can be custom built to hit the learning objectives that your class needs whilst at the same time providing your pupils with engaging experiences beyond the classroom norm. Any of the following workshops can be adapted to be delivered in your grounds:

Wilder Schools
Wilder Schools helps children feel more empowered to take action for nature at school, at home and in their future lives.

Naturally Connected Young People
Supporting young people to grow and maintain a connection with nature is at the heart of our health and education work at The Wildlife Trusts.
Our Naturally Connected Young People programme supports underserved and underrepresented young people in communities to build their own relationships with nature, supporting their ongoing mental health and well-being for the long-term.

Make your grounds a ‘Hotspot’ for wildlife’
Are you looking for ways to improve your school grounds, making them more climate resilient and biodiverse? We can visit your school and carry out a site visit to assess the green space, discuss development options and possible community engagement opportunities. A “Green Report” is then produced summarising the current situation and range of habitats available and which outlines recommendations for the next steps and how you can progress your plans to make your grounds more wildlife friendly.
