Nature Quest

NATURE QUEST #1

Habitat Explorer

How many different habitats do you have in your schools grounds?
All are good, but some are better for wildlife. Give your school grounds a ‘Wildlife Friendly Habitat score’.

NATURE QUEST #2

Biodiversity Action Plan

It’s important to know which habitats and wildlife are present in your school grounds, but it’s equally important to know what’s missing and how to help.

NATURE QUEST #4

Go Birdwatching

Birds are our most visible wild friends and no matter where you are, you’re sure to have brilliant birds to watch. From the ever-present Pied Crow and noisy Arrow-marked Babbler to majestic Eagles, you will find birds everywhere.

NATURE QUEST #5

Composting

Fancy rotten tomatoes, grass cuttings and onion skins for dinner? No? Well, we know wildlife that would! It’s one of nature’s miracles that fruit, vegetable and plant scraps that we throw away are readily gobbled up by an army of wild recyclers.

NATURE QUEST #7

I Spy Wildlife

Wild creatures live their own lives and aren’t always on show for us to spot. However, look close enough and you’re sure to see evidence of them. From fallen feathers and fur to footprints and poo, there’s loads of evidence for you to work out who’s around.

NATURE QUEST #8

Trees, Leaves & Seeds

There’s more to wildlife than fur and feathers. Here’s your chance to ‘branch’ out.
The trees of Zimbabwe are as important as the wild animals – the mighty Baobab is as strong as an elephant, living for up to 3,000 years.

NATURE QUEST #10

Wild Sleepout

Got a taste for nightlife? What could be more exciting than a night under the stars?
The world is a different place in the dark, with wildlife you never imagined even exists.

NATURE QUEST #11

Count Your Kilometres

Wildlife has no choice but to use the power of its wings, fins and feet to move and some species make amazing migrations. Can you match a small proportion of their efforts in just a week or over the whole term?
