Biodiversity Week 2021
Biodiversity is AWESOME! From mini-beasts to mighty trees, It’s magical, mysterious and magnificent. And it affects and makes possible all parts of our lives.
This Live Lesson is a morning of live workshops all about Biodiversity, with special guests from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), Fairtrade Schools, and Children's Author and Veterinarian Gill Lewis courtesy of the Scottish Book Trust.
Primary Schools
Meet the wolves living at Highland Wildlife Park and learn about what caused Wolves to become extinct in Scotland, what Pine Hoverflies and Wolves have in common, how powerful words are and how they help us look after nature, and how choosing Fairtrade makes a huge difference.
