Features and In Depth Features
Calling all
conservationists: Help deliver next generation of nature enthusiasts By
Professor Andrew Charlton-Perez, Head of the School of Mathematical, Physical
and Computational Sciences at the University of Reading, and creator of the
Climate Ambassador Scheme.
The impacts of July’s record-breaking temperatures
and wildfires in the UK will not have been felt much more keenly than by those
in environmental roles. The University of Reading set up a new Climate
Ambassadors Scheme this summer. Run through the STEM Learning online platform,
it matches environmental experts with schools and colleges to help teachers
equip young people with climate knowledge and skills for future careers. The
scheme is aimed at increasing understanding of the causes and consequences of
climate change among young people and providing teachers with top quality
information and practical tips. [more]
The Rural Skills Hub: Kickstarting
careers in traditional boundary crafts
Traditional field
boundaries are a familiar feature of our landscape – there are over 300,000
miles of hedgerow and 120,000 miles of dry stone wall criss-crossing the British
countryside. Sadly, the skills required to look after these boundaries are in
decline, and fewer people are training to a professional level to maintain them.
The Rural Skills Hub, a joint project between the Dry Stone Walling Association
(DSWA) and the National Hedgelaying Society (NHLS), was launched in November
2021. The project aims to help people start a career involving traditional
boundary crafts, through providing financial support, training, and
employability advice. [more]
