BBC Breathing Places

The Kilbroney Centre are now delivery partners for BBC Breathing places and can support your school in doing projects, big or small in your school.

The BBC is famous for its wildlife broadcasting and

over the next two years, they want to get 10,000 schools closer to nature by providing help with making school grounds into special places for wildlife with the BBC Breathing Places Schools campaign.

So the essential thing is for you to get registered, get your pack and get going. Here's a great opportunity to get some environmental work going in your school

What does it involve?

BBC Breathing Places Schools will:
> Bring together a partnership of organisations that can help you
> Provide 'one-stop' help on the BBC website
> Encourage pupils to become involved - watch and listen out for Breathing Places on BBC TV and Radio > Provide new ideas and new initiatives every term for two years.

How do I get involved?

Go to the BBC Breathing Places website and register as a Breathing Places School. This will give you access to the full website, the campaign documents and a free activity pack to get you started.

You can register at any time, even if you miss the first "Do One Thing" activity.

What happens next?

You will be offered six "Do One Thing" or ('DOTs!) activities over the next two years. The first two are Sowing Seeds (available now), and Minibeasts (for summer 2008). The other DOTs will go online each term until the end of 2009. Future DOT ideas include:
> Winter 2008 - Feeding wildlife
> Spring 2009 - Homes for wildlife
> Summer 2009 - Wet places
> Winter 2009 - Trees
