      discover and learn about biomes and how animals have adapated to survive in some of the worlds harshest conditions.

      Edina TrustThanks to the funding from the Edina Trust, RZSS have created lessons and resources to engage children from an early age with the natural world -  developing an interest in science and a thirst for knowledge through their natural interest in animals  – we can inspire the next generation of conservationists and scientists. We can inspire them to want to learn, to achieve, to value, love and protect nature and for local schools, which this programme is intended for, ensures primary-aged students can access the unique benefits of where they live instead of being limited by them.
