The Landscape Services team at Braintree District Council have produced an Environmental Educational Pack containing games, practical tasks and activities in order to encourage schools and local groups to utilise the open spaces we have in the District and to educate children about the environment and wildlife where they live.  There are activities for all ages, many linking with the National Curriculum from mini-beast hunting and tree identification for primary schools to building otter holts and habitat surveying for young adults.

The pack also contains a list of some of the Braintree District Council owned sites around the District where groups can take children to carry out activities.  Many of the sites are within walking distance to schools in the urban areas of Braintree District so even if you have limited capacity within the school grounds there should be a site within the local area.
