Plant seeds, not bombs! Promote biodiversity in your area, and help bees and other pollinators by growing wildflowers in your local area

Take action to improve the biodiversity of your local area at whatever scale you can.

Lots of minibeasts need somewhere to shelter over winter - ‘bug hotels’ of different sizes can provide an artificial hibernaculum in parks and gardens - a winter home for spiders, woodlice, beetles, bees and more.

Head to your local park, nature reserve, or even just a tree-lined street to discover the behaviour of different bird species in your neighbourhood.

Bats hunt their insect prey using echolocation - try this game to see if you’d succeed as a bat, or whether you’d go hungry!

Explore your local pond and take a closer look at the weird and wonderful creatures that make it their home!

Plants and animals form a fragile ecosystem - what happens if one part of a food chain is disrupted?

We need to speak up for the natural world – this role play exercise will help young people understand conflicting needs and different points of view.

Try this warm-up game to understand how species depend on each other in an ecosystem - you’ll need at least 10 people in the group to make this work!

Try this warm-up game to show how a population is affected by its habitat - can the deer thrive by finding food, water and shelter?

Start to consider the idea of biodiversity with your group by exploring the variety of colours you can find in your local environment
