In 2026–27, we will recruit twenty participants to help us develop a deeper, more sustained environmental education programme. Each participating education provider will receive up to three days of DSWF support each year. They will also have access to our resident wildlife artist, webinars with our global partners, and bespoke resources throughout the year.
Participants will be a mix of schools, colleges, libraries or home education groups across the UK. They will help us navigate the complex process of supporting young people in becoming advocates for wildlife and conservation.

“We loved the interaction in the assembly… The link to habitats was perfect because it covers all three year group’s science curriculum.” – Gemma, Ewhurst School
“The children were so inspired, they started to write tiger facts and we had a tiger themed show and tell. Your session was perfect, just the right length of time on the carpet and the mask making was great.” – Maria, Woodlea Primary
“It was lovely having you and the children really enjoyed the session… it was very organised, the right length for the children’s age and lovely activities. I am already thinking about next year!” – Carla, St Francis, Ventnor
“We had fun making the animal habitats… when I grow up, I want to work at an animal charity and help animals.”
“I really enjoyed your talk about the endangered animals and I never knew that there were not many tigers left.”
