Events organised for local schools

The project has run various events for local schools including wildflower surveys, insect surveys and wildlife pond design sessions both on the common and at schools.

The project has had over 100 secondary school pupils take part in the project sessions. New environmental projects are being developed with local schools and their pupils are taking a active part in the development of the projects.

Embrace Cooperation Ltd would welcome to hear from other schools who would be interested in developing new projects with us.

Wildlife Id and photography walks

The project has run 5 nature walks on Streatham Common with over 100 people taking part in the walks.

We have run 2 walks on how to identify birds with local bird expert Peter Newmark running the walks for us.

2 walks on how to identify trees with Lambeth Council Parks Projects Officer (Communities & Education) Dr Iain Boulton running the walks.

Plus a walk on how to take digital photos of wild flowers, trees and the common.

We are also going to run a wild flower ID walk on Streatham common 11:30am Thursday 21st May 2009. Starting at the rookery cafe on Streatham common, which will be run by Dominic Price Species Recovery Officer for Charity Plantlife International. The walk will be a introduction to the plants of the common, with a chance to use ID guides to familiarise oneself with some of the more interesting species. We will have a gentle walk around the common looking at the native plants and learning how to identify them. Everyone is welcome to come along and take part.
