Case study of the school grounds. Meeting with experts to get suggestions for increasing biodiversity.  Making bird feeders and bird bath and positioning them in suitable locations.

A school in the middle of our town.

Our school is surrounded by roads and houses. There is little green, mostly in the school garden and in private gardens.  Parks are small and not very green. Local biodiversity is gone tens of years ago when the area was being developed.  Local plants have been reintroduced but there is no real diversity.  Animals and birds don't have easy access to clean water. Fertilizers and pesticides are used in the care of gardens.  Most families do not compost.
