Schools, colleges and universities

If you manage school builds, refurbishments or existing school grounds, use our detailed information on Biodiversity and the School Estate   .

Even small changes can help improve biodiversity in an urban or built setting and with this in mind many educational establishments are working to encourage wildlife by adding to the variety of natural environments on their campuses.

Sensitive land management can have a positive impact on conservation and biodiversity.
