Talk to the Botanic Garden Education Network

Kim Polgreen, OEA Director, gave an online talk on Nature and Sustainability Education to the BGEN group in April 2025.

This talk was on what I had learned from my work at Wytham Woods and in schools. I talked about why I focus on teenagers, the types of nature education activities I run, how I run work experience weeks for groups of students, how I work with teachers, how schools are encouraged to engage with nature education through the wellbeing benefits for students, and my involvement in a research project on Nature and Mental Health and Wellbeing in Secondary Schools.
