Webinar for MATs, local authorities and councils: Exploring the Nature Park Map

Aimed at multi-academy trusts, local authorities and councils, this webinar explores the National Education Nature Park Map where you can see the collective efforts being made by schools, colleges and nurseries across England to study and improve biodiversity on their sites.

We run a demo of how to use the open access Nature Park Map so you can support the schools getting involved in your area, and look at how you can add multiple layers of data to explore, including:

• the habitats mapped by young people on their school sites, and the habitat improvements they're making through the programme
• wildlife observations made by young people when exploring their school sites
• environmental quality results such as shade mapping and microclimates
• external datasets such as surface flood risk, geology layers, local greenspace and many others available through ArcGIS online

We introduce how to use the new Map, view and manipulate these layers and show some of the tool features that can be used to measure, draw and export data from the map. Watch back so you can see what's happening in schools, nurseries and colleges near you and find out how you can support them as they improve their sites for both people and wildlife!
