Looking after nature is really important, and schools can help out by 'Doing one thing' each term. This time, we are planting some wildlife seeds to help encourage birds, butterflies and other insects to visit school grounds. Check out the BBC Breathing Places pages and see Kew's factsheet with information on the seeds for your school grounds. For more activities visit Kew's wildlife zone pack |
