From Maps to Meadows: Planning for Wildlife
Recommended age: 10–12

In this recorded session, pupils meet Jess Hodges, an Ecology Project Manager who works on projects that improve nature on reserves and public green spaces.

Jess introduces a real project currently in progress and invites students to help with problem-solving along the way. Pupils explore how creating space for wildlife in busy places can be challenging, especially when time and budgets are limited, but also exciting and rewarding.

Students discover how skills such as map reading, digital technology, maths, writing and teamwork all come together in environmental project work. The session also highlights the wide range of careers involved in projects like this, from ecology and landscape design to river science and environmental planning.

Part of the Green Jobs for Nature series, this session supports learning in science, geography and careers education, and encourages young people to think creatively about the many roles needed to help nature thrive.
