Helping Mammals at school

When it comes to biodiversity in the school garden the bees, birds, bugs and trees get all the attention! However, it is important not to forget an entire group of animals – the mammals. Although they are not as loud as the birds and obvious as the flowers, they are there and are always looking for a helping hand. When the school bell goes, who knows what cute critters descend upon the school garden such as rabbits and hedgehogs! We’ve assembled a number of actions below that will both help and investigate mammals in your school garden.

Select an activity:

Build a Hedgehog House

Build a Mammal Tunnel

Install a Bat Box
