I think a useful focus for some of the work that goes on once the new course is taught will involve the work of the many Wildlife Trusts that there are in the UK.
These are often based on activity within counties. It may be worth checking whether you have a local Wildlife Trust.
I have just received my new membership card and parking permit for my local wildlife trust for 2024-5. I thought it might be worth adding a case study.
Case Study: Norfolk Wildlife Trust
I've got quite a few pictures of Norfolk Wildlife Trust locations as well, which will be in the Flickr folder of images I'm creating - all CC licensed for teachers who will perhaps need to create their own resources as they may not have the budget for class sets of any official textbook that emerges - and there is likely to be at least one of course.
The Norfolk Wildlife Trust's website is here.
The trust was actually the first local wildlife trust to be founded.
The original land was at Cley next the Sea in North Norfolk. This is the NWT Reserve I have visited the most over the years that I have lived in the county.
It had previously been used for wildfowling: the shooting of wild fowl such as geese.
Duck decoys can still be seen marked on local maps. Where is your nearest duck decoy?
Like all Trusts, they publish an annual Impact Report - these would make useful resources to interrogate to see the sort of work that is carried out to develop and protect habitats.
The most recent Imapct Report for the Norfolk Wildlife Trust is here.
Their 2023 strategy is called Wilder Norfolk for All.
