Where can I get a camera trap?

If you would like a camera trap to use in your school, there are two options:

1) Buy a camera trap - Over the past decade, camera traps have come down in price significantly, meaning buying a camera trap is now an option to many more people. We recommend buying a camera trap from our partners, NatureSpy. NatureSpy sell all of the best camera traps on the market, at an affordable price (starting from as little as £100-£120), and profits go towards funding conservation projects around the world. Furthermore, if you contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., we may be able to give you a discount code to further reduce costs. We understand money can be tight in schools so, below, we've put together a short list of ideas of how to raise money for a camera trap. You will also find links to the NatureSpy website, and a guide to buying your first camera trap below.

• Hold a coffee morning.
• Fancy dress day - dress up as your favourite animal!
• Run a wildlife photography competition.
• Through science club/other school clubs.
• Ask for parent donations.
• Apply for a grant. There are grants available to schools to run projects (small or large scale) relating to the environment. Click here or here for lists of grants for which you may be eligible.

2) Borrow a camera trap from MammalWeb - If you are taking part in a funded project with MammalWeb then we may have a small number of camera traps available to lend out to schools. You will have heard about this when you signed up to participate.
