Win a Biodiverse Green Roof for your school!
The green roof is widely recognised for its environmental benefits, as well as much needed habitat for insects and other wildlife. It will also help your students learn about the wildlife around them and why it is so important to protect it.
During National Science and Engineering Week, we are going to give you the chance to win a biodiverse green roof for your school. Click here to find out more.
