Exeter Wildlife Champions Network

thumb_wldctygreenExeter Wildlife Champions Network launch conference a huge success!

Over 170 staff and students from schools across the city came together at St James' school in October 2011 for a conference to launch the Exeter Wildlife Champions Network.

Wildlife_Champions_ConferenceThe conference was opened by TV star Nick Baker and supported by a range of other conservation organisations all bringing their expertise to inspire and teach all attendees.

The aim of the conference was to give the students the tools they need to make positive decisions for wildlife and to take action in the school grounds as part of the Exeter Wild City project.

What's next?

Each of the teams have been set a challenge starting with feeding the birds over the winter and recording what they see on their patch. But this is only the start! It is now up to the champions to work out a plan of action for their school and engage with their local community to make sure their actions spread far and wide.

More news and updates will appear here as the champions share with us what they are doing.

For more information or get in touch please email wildlifechampions@devonwildlifetrust.org
