Environmental Conservation Activity Badge
How to earn your badge:
1, Find out about an environmental issue that is important to your local community.
It might be linked to:
- recycling and conservation
- energy efficiency in the home or your meeting place – ask your adult and list what’s in your house
- the building of new homes and local land use – what is Brown Belt land?
- water, light, thermal, air or beach pollution
- coastal erosion – look at the cliffs along Thurstaston Shore, what’s glacial til?
- the impact of tourism on the local environment – what effect does tourism have on our sailing lake?
2, Take part in an activity or project that improves local conservation.
It could take place during a weekend conservation camp or you could spread it over at least five weekly sessions.
You could look at:
- recycling – collect plastic bottles for recycling
- reducing energy usage or renewable energy – keep a log of how many lights you switch off after your adults
- protecting important habitats or wildlife – find out what the Wirral Rangers do
- pollution – what types of pollution can be found on Wirral, can you stop it?
- erosion – photograph the same part of Thurstaston Cliffs over several weeks
- flooding – do we have flooding on Wirral, do we need the sea wall at Leasowe?
3, Get involved in a campaign to make others aware of an environmental issue.
You could write to your MP and other local agencies or speak to a community group. Write an article about a local environmental issue and we will publish it on this website and perhaps elsewhere.
With your adult’s permission we can then publish your work on our website and social media.
