Wildlife Watch for children

Wildlife Watch is the junior branch of the Wildlife Trusts Partnership, encouraging young people under 18 to explore nature and help protect wildlife. Young people can support their local Wildlife Trust through Watch membership, and get involved with local Watch and Greenwatch Groups. School Watch Groups can be set up through School membership.

Watch encourages young people to discover and understand the influences that shape the environment around us in order to take positive action for the future and conserve wildlife. This is achieved by five key principles known as the Watch Approach. These include:

• increasing understanding of our whole environment
• fostering awareness and feeling for the world we live in
• encouraging a caring attitude towards wildlife and participation in conservation
• creating factual, informal, fun ways to investigate our surroundings
• ensuring that young people’s environmental concerns, ideas and opinions are recognised and developed, and opportunities are created to act upon them.
