After a long period in preparation, the National Education Nature Park and Climate Action Awards site is open.
There is a free programme of events which will be provided. This is a programme which is associated with the development of the GCSE Natural History, but has been launched earlier than the draft specification.
An activity has been created to kick off the new resource.

It has been developed by the Natural History Museum, who also say:
Working with the Department for Education (DfE), the programme aims to make sure every young person in England has opportunities to develop a meaningful connection to nature, develop green skills for their future and contribute to nature recovery.Together with our partners, the Royal Horticultural Society and the Royal Society, we are giving children and young people the opportunity to transform their learning sites for nature and become part of a network of nurseries, schools and colleges that form the National Education Nature Park.
The accompanying Climate Action Awards, led by the Royal Society, will help children and young people develop skills and knowledge in biodiversity and sustainability, and celebrate their climate action efforts.
Responding to the urgency of the planetary emergency and the DfE's Sustainability Strategy, this is once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform the way we teach climate education and support young people to act and increase biodiversity across England.
