Conservation Fact File 5 - Predator & Pest Control

Another video in the Conservation Fact file series. This time we cover predator and pest control.
There are many species that are endangered and thus need to be protected from predation. Gamekeepers create Predator and Pest Control Management Plans which determine how, under current legislation, the bird and mammalian predators can be prevented from preying on these vulnerable species.
Aimed at Key stage 3, 4 & 5, (11-18 year old young people), the video is accompanied by worksheets to help reinforce the learning and ignite the interest of students in the ways in which game and conservation managers keep the balance in our countryside.
WARNING video contains a short section, pre-warned, with graphic images of corvid damage to lambs

Remarkable Rivers

Did you know that there are over 6000 rivers in Britain? 30 of these are over 70 miles long – longer than most of our motorways. With so many rivers throughout the country, there are many opportunities for schools to engage with our remarkable river systems and use them as a key opportunity for learning.
