4. How can the North Ayrshire Nature Network (NANN) provide opportunities for education and green skills development in North Ayrshire?
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?
could have lots of different places for kids, interpretation boards (animals, herbs, plants to eat), dens to make, tell kids about nature
work with local and national businesses to encourage special event weekends to encourage people.
kids out more (forest schools)
engage with school and local groups
social media, improvements (sharing good things and whats going on)
open days
primary 1 should be taught to grow and know nature, teach countryside code, educate people
gardening native plants-the maintenance of the home space could be where you start!
awareness-urgency (like council response)
schools/workshops-how to build raised beds-wildflower events.
