RSPB wildlife explorers

RSPB recognise that there are many home educators across the Uk and have set up an area for home educators to take part in their Wildlife Action Awards for schools.

This award scheme is all about finding out about and helping wildlife, doing practical things to help and telling other people.

It is suitable for schools, home schools, families and any group of people such as brownies or other groups.
