A cross posting from my GCSE Natural History blog - check it out if you haven't visited before.
He talks about the new Wildling app which launches today.
Wildling officially launches nationwide on 9 July, backed by some of the UK’s leading conservation organisations and individuals, including the RSPB, the Marine Conservation Society, Forestry England, and advisors such as Deborah Meaden, Ben Goldsmith, and Sir Tim Smit.It’s a free app designed to make finding and enjoying nature simpler for everyone. Whether you’re in a city, suburb, or rural area, Wildling helps users discover local nature, explore ideas for getting outdoors, and find calming, inspiring content that can develop confidence and connection with the natural world.
It’s suitable for families, first-timers, educators, and anyone looking to reconnect with nature, and feel better for doing so.
You can download the Wildling app for free from our website.
Wildling has been designed to make it easier for people to engage with the natural world, and that has clear value across many areas of education.
By helping students explore nature where they live, the app can support learning across a wide range of subjects. It’s not about replacing lessons, but enhancing them with real-world experience.
This joins apps such as Melissa Harrison's Encounter app in providing people with a chance to identify and record their encounters with nature, which will be useful for geography as well as for the GCSE Natural History when and if it finally gains approval to be added as a new qualification option.
Thanks to Kerry Sage for the tipoff to the blog post and app.
