The Big Schools Garden Birdwatch

Join the RSPB from 16-30 January 2012 and you'll not only be taking part in the world's biggest birdwatch, but also helping us monitor UK bird numbers.

The Big Garden Birdwatch

All you need is a pen, some scrap paper (or, a printout of our handy bird ID sheet), and an hour to spend watching the birds in your garden, or local park, on either Saturday 28, or Sunday 29 January 2012.

Simply make a note of the highest number of each bird species seen on the ground (not flying over) at any one time, and come back to these page to tell us what you saw.

You can also ask questions, and share your tips for a brilliant birdwatch on our friendly Big Garden Birdwatch community group.  Go to www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch/

World Wetlands Day

On 2 February 2012 it will be World Wetlands Day, your chance to find out more about the Wetlands of the UK and the world!
There will be events held around the world to celebrate, from seminars to nature walks and community clean up days in over 98 countries worldwide. The date of February 2nd was chosen as it marks the adoption of the Convention on Wetlands which took place in the Iranian city of Ramsar near the Caspian Sea on 2 February 1971. The theme for 2012 is "Wetlands and Tourism".

Go Green Week

People and Planet are hosting Go Green Week to draw peoples' attention to climate change and opting for greener alternatives! Now all they need are plenty of students to help them do it!
Rising temperatures and changes in the environment has led to all sorts of natural diasters like floods, tsunamis and tornadoes. The results have drastically changed peoples lives, and often meant having to uproot and start all over again completely.

And it's not just people hit by these disasters in far-away countries that are at risk - the worse the problem gets, the more likely we all are to end up affected.

The organisers of the event have suggested a whole host of activities that you can get involved in during the week. And with a theme for each day - there is something for everyone!
