Next question

4. How can the North Ayrshire Nature Network (NANN) provide local opportunities for education and green skills development? 

For example:

  • could the NANN provide an outdoor learning experience for school children, young people and our wider communities?
  • how could the NANN be used to develop green skills like wildlife tourism, land management, ecologists, countryside rangers?
