Notice Title

Department for Education National Education Nature Park and Climate Leaders Award

Notice Description

The National Education Nature Park and Climate Leaders Award was announced by the Secretary of State at COP26. *The Park will act as a digital hub where early years practitioners, teachers, children, and young people can find learning resources and ideas for nature-based activities. *The Climate Leaders Award will act as an 'umbrella' for all the many excellent existing awards and activities that stakeholders currently provide. In doing so, it will help increase participation in nature-based activities and celebrate and recognise the enormous effort that so many education providers and children and young people put into improving their local environment. *The Award will encourage participation in nature-based activities and children and young people will learn about the use of innovative biodiversity mapping, which will provide a new insight into the current bio-diversity baseline of the education estate and enable progress to be tracked.
