Schoolchildren in England to learn about biodiversity in new RHS project

Partnership between RHS, Natural History Museum and DfE will enable schools to access funding to create green spaces

Children will learn about biodiversity and nature in schools, and perhaps gain new green spaces in the playground, thanks to a new partnership between the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), the Natural History Museum (NHM) and the government.

The plan is for students to map out the biodiversity in their schools and add it to a nationwide database, as well as supporting teachers to develop curriculum-based climate education resources and lesson plans.
