Sara runs a popular wildlife club at Sedbergh Primary School, where the children share their wildlife encounters and come up with ideas to help local nature. She also helps with local tree planting groups and volunteers at our Girls on Fells events.
'I have been running a Wildlife Club at Sedbergh Primary School since 2018. We've built bug hotels, made bird feeders, created collages from natural materials, counted and measured worms and even chilled out with wildlife yoga!
The children often come to the club with ideas about what they want to do (litter picks are very popular) and also share their wildlife encounters. They've also worked hard to achieve the Wildlife Trust’s Watch Awards, such as the Hedgehog award and the Kestrel award.
We planted rowan tree saplings into pots last autumn and hope to plant these out with help from the Sedbergh Environmental Network group, as part of the Queen’s Canopy project.
Recently, some members made presentations about endangered wildlife of the UK which they shared with their classmates.
At Wildlife Club we have always tried to make the most of the beautiful natural environment surrounding us and learn about how we can best protect and care for it.'
