Can you remember what it was that sparked your interest in nature, wildlife or the countryside?
World Children's Day, established in 1954, offers each of us an entry-point to build a better world for Children. What could be better than considering how we shape the world of today to ensure their green tomorrow?
So on this World Children's Day we're casting our minds back to those golden tinted days of childhood. Can you remember what it was that sparked your interest in nature, wildlife or the countryside? a walk in the park with lots of muddy puddles to jump in, ticking off the birds that visited the table in your family's garden, pulling up carrots (and eating them fresh from the soil) on an allotment or watching a spider patiently spin its web in the corner of the window. It might have been the fondly remembered treat of rockpooling on a holiday weekend at the beach or perhaps an organised school trip (complete with badly fitting wellies and soggy sandwiches of course) where you learnt the names of some flowers or how to identify trees. There are many different ways to inspire the next generation of wildlife warriors, nature nuts and countryside conservationists and we're looking to incorporate as many as we can our next CJS Focus which is in association with Action for Conservation.
If you run environmental education activities; if you provide training to help others working with children especially in the outdoors; if you sell equipment, build apps, write or design child-friendly resources then you should be advertising in this CJS Focus edition.
