Notes
|
Wildlife Watch groups are set up locally in schools or in the
community to help children discover their local environment through
taking a close look at the wildlife around them and helping to care
for habitats (e.g. ponds in school grounds) and celebrating wildlife
through arts and crafts. Wildlife Watch clubs are run by volunteers
(a mix of parents and teachers works well) who register with our UK
office to receive a whole range oif FREE benefits (leader's resource
pack, magazines for leaders and children, posters, special project packs,
award schemes) and local support (a newsletter, tarining etc) from Surrey
Wildlife Trust's full-time Environmental Clubs Officer. For instance,
we are currently running a pilot scheme for Surrey Training and Enterprise
Council, to give Environmental Club activity training to Supervisors
of After School Care clubs.
Watch Education Scheme - schools not running a Wildlife Watch
Club can still subscribe to Wildlife Watch nationally to receive magazines
and activity packs.
