Young Naturalist Award

Based in Gosforth Nature Reserve and in collaboration with the Natural History Society of Northumbria, this award has been designed to enable Year 8 pupils to explore their interest in nature.

Pupils discover wild spaces in Northumberland, explore what makes them special and take action to conserve them for future generations. It involves four days of guided learning throughout the year, aligned to the seasons as well as four days (or more) of self-discovery and exploration in areas of interest. Pupils will also design their own conservation project to support their chosen specialism.
