Session 1

BIODIVERSITY

Biodiversity

Session Summary


We will learn what biodiversity is and why it is so important in nature. We will have the opportunity to look for evidence of biodiversity in our local spaces. We will record evidence of biodiversity and capture photos and artwork of the biodiversity we encounter on our Biodiversity Hunt.

After the session students can share their nature photographs and art with us, and we will share them in our online gallery. We will include a button here and on our gallery page after each session to share.
