Habitat Heroes

Habitat Heroes is a joint project between BEES and BCEP.

The aim of the project is to enhance awareness and understanding of biodiversity through practical creation of habitats in the school grounds. To both improve their value for wildlife and create a sustainable teaching resource.

The project aims to involve, as much as possible, the whole school in the design, implementation and future use of these grounds resources and to embed their use into the school curriculum.

Schools involved in the first year are Green Lane Primary, Heaton Primary, Long Lee Primary, Woodside Primary, Denholme Primary.

Habitat Heroes have recently expanded the number of schools we work with thanks to funding from the Bradford North Area Committee and a new partnership with Be Involved. We are now working with the following 13 primary schools:-

Killinghall Primary, Thornbury Primary, Green Lane Primary, Westminster CE Primary, Fearnville Primary, Usher Street Primary, Swain House Primary, Parkland Primary, Holybrook Primary, Our Lady of St Brendan's Catholic Primary, Greengates Primary, Peel Park Primary, Springwood Community Primary
