I (Ruth) am continuing to do outreach in Bedford Borough, a recent highlight has been delivering a wildlife mapping activity with a group at Great Denham Primary. We went on a short walk around the grounds looking for signs of wildlife in winter.
I was delighted to be shown around some of the wildlife features that the children had incorporated into their school grounds. We then looked at various natural history items to be inspired about what more could be done for wildlife in Great Denham. The children came up with some great ideas such as making wildlife crossing tunnels. Using natural materials the children then mapped out Great Denham and incorporated new ideas of how to link wildlife habitats and features.
