Students assess the biodiversity on their school grounds and consider ways to increase biodiversity. Activities include:
- surveying vertebrates, invertebrates, and gardens
- assessing habitat quality
- learning how to increase habitat and considering the advantage of plant layers
- mapping significant areas, such as gardens, remnant bush, nest sites and areas of erosion
Additionally, students can be supported in one of the following:
- devise a bird list for the school
- start a digital herbarium for the school
- link narrative to a recount or school map
- develop an action plan for improving the school's biodiversity
- commence a weed assessment of the school and surrounding environment
