About
Schools for Wildlife is a first of its kind sustainable schools initiative to bring schools, communities, and nature together.
Our Story
Established as a response to the State of Nature (UK) report, by Parent, Ecologist and Wild Staffordshire Founder, Scott Latham, Schools for Wildlife is the first of its kind sustainable schools initiative to bring schools, communities, and nature together.
Initially, Schools for Wildlife will be rolled out in 2021/22 across pilot schools throughout Staffordshire, before the initiative is launched across the region.
Our Mission & Ojectives
Our Mission is to educate, inspire, and connect people to nature whilst collaborating with schools and communities to protect and enhance local wildlife and living landscapes.
Our Objectives are based on the founding principles of Schools for Wildlife. These values will underpin our approach to working with everyone. Our vision is long term, and achieving it requires us to work within complex relationships involving educational institutes, local authorities, partner organisations, communities, and the natural world.
Our Goals
Our vision is to fuse ecology, action-based, and curriculum focused learning to protect and improve local biodiversity with four simple goals.
- To connect children with nature
- To see biodiversity thrive in local regions
- To deliver curriculum based hands-on learning
- To empower schools & communities to build relationships
