National Education Nature Park
Adam visits the Natural History Museum in London to learn about the National Education Nature Park programme from Laura.
This initiative encourages schools across England to transform their outdoor spaces into greener areas by planting pollinator-friendly plants, building ponds, and creating green walls, aiming to benefit both wildlife and the mental well-being of students!
Laura explains the programme's five-step process, which includes assessing the site, planning, and implementing changes, and then evaluating the impact on local wildlife and the community's response. The programme also offers digital tools and creative activities, making it accessible to a wide range of interests and abilities. -

We're going on an exciting journey up Snowdon on the Snowdon Mountain Railway in Wales! We start our journey in Llanberis, where the railway station is located, and find out all about the history and details of this narrow gauge rack and pinion railway that has been operational since 1896.
The railway offers stunning views of Snowdonia National Park and provides a unique, accessible way for visitors to reach the summit of Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales and England.
