This week we went on a nature walk with the Environmental Kids Club from Bweyale Public Primary School. Together, we discovered our immediate environment, using all our senses. We also observed some environmental threats, such as littering and pollution, soil degradation and the downsides of growing non-indigenous trees, and discussed potential solutions.
Nature walks allow the kids to get in physical touch with the environment and also offer a hands on experience and medium of passing on environmental conservation messages in a fun way, rather than in class lessons.
