Schools Wildlife Crime Project 2010-2011
For the 13th successive year Tayside Police wildlife crime officers are running their schools project with primary pupils in Tayside schools. This year approximately 1500 pupils from 46 classes in 33 schools are taking part. 13,500 pupils have participated in this project since its inception.
The projects for the pupils this year are:
- An autumn nature diary
- A short story, "A day in the life of a police wildlife crime officer"
- A coloured drawing of a bird, animal, plant or insect found in the wild in Scotland
- A wildlife law quiz
The marking of the diaries has just been completed. Alan Stewart, Tayside Police wildlife and environmental crime officer, who marked them, said,
"The pupils' nature diaries are always fascinating to mark. They have great powers of observation and if someone is with them who can explain what they have seen in a bit more detail, the youngster captures all this in the diary. I've noticed over the year that the best diaries result from a walk in the country with grannies and grandads, or a visit to their garden."
