Encounters

As part of the 'Connecting Schools to Nature' project, MammalWeb, along with partners the British Ecological Society and SMASH-UK, developed a new digital platform for primary schools. The platform has been co-created with teachers and includes >130 resources such as lesson plans, worksheets and digital assemblies, all designed to increase pupils' connection to nature in school. There is a badge scheme which can be worked through as a class or with individual pupils, completing activities to gain bronze, silver or gold level certificates. When you register on the platform, you will also be set up with your own project on MammalWeb, to which you can then upload images from a camera trap, sharing the link with other teachers and parents to see what you have captured. If you don't have a camera trap yet, then don't worry: you can still register on Encounters and get access to all of the resources and activities, including classifying camera trap images from other projects.
