Message from
our sustainability lead
Connecting people with nature lies at the heart of sustainability. By fostering a love for local wildlife and a deeper understanding of the natural world, we empower students and school communities to make choices that protect and conserve our planet. Not only does nature connection pave the way for a sustainable future, but time spent outdoors in green and blue spaces — often with others — has proven mental and physical health benefits. Join us for an inspiring morning filled with ideas, stories, connections and practical take-aways to help bring your students and school communities closer to the wonders of wildlife and the world around us.
