Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Schools become Eco Champions

Published: 29/09/2025

Â鶹´«Ã½Íøվ’s Eco Champions programme empowers primary school students to take practical action for our environment. 

Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Eco Champions explores biodiversity, climate change, energy, and sustainability in a fun, engaging way, equipping pupils with the knowledge and ideas to make a difference. By supporting young people to understand the challenges and the actions they can take, the programme supports a greener and safer future for Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾. 

Earlier in 2025, pupils participated in Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Eco Champions, and the project is set to continue from September. Pupils will explore the connections between climate change and nature loss,  how natural habitat creation can help wildlife in schools and gardens and learn about energy saving and waste reduction. The programme inspires children to think creatively about making a difference at school and home, supporting a generation of environmentally aware learners. 

Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Eco Champions is delivered by Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾s experienced Play Development Team, supported by the Natural Environment Team, who have been praised for the enthusiasm and variety they bring to the sessions.  The programme is grant funded through Welsh Governments Local Places for Nature funding. 

Cllr Chris Dolphin, Cabinet Member for Environment, Regeneration, Countryside and Tourism said: "Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ Eco Champions is an excellent demonstration of cross department working between the Natural Environment and Play Development teams at Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾. Acting for nature and our future generations is important across all our functions, it’s great to see grant funding secured to deliver such a positive project."
