National Education Nature Park

The National Education Nature Park is a free, fully resourced programme for all nurseries, schools and colleges in England. It empowers young people to improve their educational site for nature by participating in real scientific research and being involved in decision-making.

It aims to support the curriculum, promote outdoor learning, upskill educators, improve wellbeing, tackle biodiversity loss, reduce inequalities around green space and support climate action plans.

A non-competitive grant of £10000 is available to selected schools to enable their participation in the programme.

Funded by the Department for Education and delivered by the Natural History Museum and Royal Horticultural Society. Richard Irvine and Ella Boston are based in Devon and support schools to enhance biodiversity in their grounds and to make the Nature Park a part of their Climate Action Plans. southwestnaturepark@rhs.org.uk
