School Grounds

Scottish Natural Heritage wants to ensure that children have the best opportunities to discover the wonder of the outdoors, to encourage their innate curiosity about the natural world from watching the smallest bugs in a damp corner of their school yard to the enjoyment of helping in the garden and seeing their garden grow.

We believe that such early experiences will help our children value their outdoor surroundings, growing with them as their horizons develop from their childhood neighbourhood to the wilder world of Scotland’s natural heritage.
