My child set up a wildlife camera in our garden

Outdoor Education

• The student has learned about the wildlife that inhabits the local environment through firsthand observation and analysis of the camera footage.
• They have developed an understanding of animal behavior, including feeding patterns, territorial behavior, and social interactions, by observing the captured images and videos.
• By setting up the wildlife camera, the student has gained knowledge about the technology used for monitoring and studying wildlife in their natural habitats.

After setting up the wildlife camera in the garden, the student can further develop their skills by organizing the captured footage into a wildlife diary, documenting the behaviors and species observed. They can also research the species identified and create a conservation plan for the garden to support the local wildlife.
