School Grounds

Does your School Grounds need… Quercus Biodiversity Solutions are here to help

Transform Your School Grounds into a Living Classroom

Many schools already have small wildlife areas—but what if your entire site could support nature? At Quercus Biodiversity Solutions, we help schools go beyond isolated projects and integrate biodiversity across the whole campus, making the most of every green space outside of the sports pitches.

From wildflower meadows to native hedgerows and wildlife ponds, we offer practical, impactful solutions that enhance both learning and wellbeing.

Why Biodiversity Matters in Schools

Boosts Mental Health & Wellbeing

The link between access to nature and improved mental health is well established. Greener school grounds support calmer, more focused learning environments.

Supports Curriculum Learning

Outdoor spaces offer real-world links to science, geography, art, literacy and more—from pollination to ecosystems, life cycles, climate change and sustainability.

Inspires Future Stewards of Nature

Children who regularly experience and engage with wildlife are more likely to care for the natural world as they grow.
