BBC Breathing Places Schools

7210070_00071_002 - Primary school children working in a school garden

Create a space for plants and wildlife in your school grounds with BBC Breathing Places Schools.

By doing one thing per term your pupils will learn about wildlife and plants and create a place where they can enjoy and explore nature.

Once your school is registered you will receive your free 'Do one thing' pack each term, which includes materials and guidance. Help and advice will be available throughout the project.

Along with our partners we can provide a wide range of relevant information and additional activities for children. Use the links on this page to learn and do more.

You can register your school at any time, but the sooner you get involved the quicker your Breathing Place will become a reality.

Woodland birds in decline

Latest results from the BTO/JNCC/RSPB Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) puts woodland birds at the top of the list of declining species.

New wetland could see continental birds arriving in Kent

Restoration of a large area of Kent countryside to wildlife-rich wetland could see the garden of England become a landing pad for bird species moving north from Europe as the climate warms.

Seabird failure continues for another year

Early reports of seabird breeding performance on some RSPB coastal reserves, especially in parts of Scotland and Wales, indicate continuing problems for internationally-important populations of guillemots, kittiwakes and other seabirds.
