Overview
Urbanisation is coming and we need everyone to do their bit to protect our precious British wildlife.
In this lesson, students will embark on an exciting journey to become ‘Habitat Heroes’, tasked with creating a sustainable solution to protect a precious British species – the humble hedgehog.
First, the students will explore the many varied habitats of Britain before discovering the top four reasons they are now under threat. They will examine real world sustainable solutions to these challenges, then work independently to design their own eco solution.
