Naturehood is a community wildlife project that will connect you, your school and your neighbours with nature on your doorstep. Naturehood aims to enhance awareness and understanding of local wildlife and its needs by conducting research about the effectiveness of actions in helping wildlife to thrive. The project aims to build communities that value nature, and empower individuals to monitor and act for local wildlife in gardens, school grounds and community spaces, providing a thriving network of wildlife-rich green spaces that benefit people and nature.

Here you will find a range of resources that can be used to learn more about nature and habitats in your local area, and positive actions for wildlife. You can find out more about our Naturehood programme here: https://naturehood.uk/ 

Plastic Rivers offers practical, evidence-based steps to tackle the plastic pollution on our doorsteps, so that everyone can be part of the solution. The issue of plastic in the oceans has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. But did you know that the vast majority of the plastic in our oceans comes from the rubbish in rivers? We urgently need to confront this problem, and stop plastics from getting into our rivers. We’ve developed a plastics ‘top offenders’ report and a plastic footprint calculator to help you and your students tackle the plastic problem.

Here you will find a range of resources that can be used to learn more about plastics, pollution and actions that can be taken to reduce our impact on the planet. You can find out more about our Plastics programme here: https://earthwatch.org.uk/get-involved/plastic-rivers 

Tiny Forests are densely packed native forests, that fit into the size of a tennis court. That means they bring all the benefits of a forest – climate cooling, lower flood risks, biodiversity, improved air quality, and physical and mental wellbeing – right into the heart of our cities and urban spaces. Tiny Forests engage communities, businesses and schools with climate change and nature-based solutions, providing tangible solutions to some of the biggest problems threatening our planet. 

Here you will find a range of resources that can be used to learn more about climate, trees & wildlife whether you have a Tiny Forest on your doorstep or not. You can find out more about our Tiny Forests programme here: https://earthwatch.org.uk/get-involved/tiny-forests

FreshWater Watch is a global project in which individuals and communities monitor, protect and restore their local water resources. We train people around the world to measure the health of their local bodies of fresh water. The resulting data provides the evidence needed to support efforts to improve water quality. Our team of water experts know that we will only improve freshwater habitats by working together. By monitoring their local waterbodies, our citizen scientists around the world contribute data and knowledge to a unified global effort to improve the health of fresh water for everyone.

Here you will find a range of resources that can be used to learn more about freshwater as a precious resource, monitoring methods and actions to protect our waterways. You can find out more about our FreshWater Watch programme here: https://freshwaterwatch.thewaterhub.org/
