There are seven Wildlife Watch Groups across Nottinghamshire that meet monthly to give children an opportunity to connect with nature through a range of wildlife activities. Funding from business’s like Mayborn enable the Watch Group leaders to welcome back members to engage and inspire these budding naturalists through innovative and creative activities.
The Wildlife Watch Magazine is published 4 times a year and is shared with the Trusts family members to connect and educate children about wildlife and the natural environment with the joint aims of fostering a responsibility for the care of the natural world which hopefully will continue with them into adulthood. In the last 12 months more than 650 family members across Nottinghamshire have been inspired by this magazine.
As well as inspiring children to connect with nature the Trust will work with Mayborn to connect with their employees to share the Trust’s and Mayborn’s environmental goals aiming to educate and inspire them to take their own actions including via Wild Work Days valuing the benefits that nature can bring to their own wellbeing.
