# Helping birds in Forest School

Children are helping their local wildlife by taking part in this year’s RSPB Big Schools’ Birdwatch 2026.

Over the next term, the children will be using their Forest School sessions to watch and count the birds that visit Park Road Community Primary School’s Forest School area and submit the results to the national wildlife charity.

In preparation for the final count, children will be making the area as inviting as possible by creating natural bird feeders and bird baths.

Forest School leader Mrs Preston said: “This is a special chance for Park Road to participate in a UK-wide citizen science project. Over a million children have taken part in this event and helped give the RSPB a valuable snapshot of how school birds are doing in the UK. With birds now facing so many challenges due to the nature and climate emergency, every count matters!”

The campaign is being run by the RSPB as part of its national Big Garden Watch campaign, which is the world’s largest garden wildlife survey. Every year, hundreds of thousands of nature lovers take part, helping to build a picture of which birds are visiting each year.
