Urban Nature Project

 

The Urban Nature Project is a Real World Science project through our partnership with the Natural History Museum.

The project aims to inspire, inform and empower teachers and students, aged 9-14, to go outdoors and get involved with the nature on their doorsteps.

Over the next three years, we’ll be connecting teachers and students with their local environment through teacher training and hands-on outdoor workshops.

We will be sharing resources to help students get outdoors, observe nature and ask their own scientific questions.
