Nature Ranger Awards
• Rowena decided to study the different types of habitat and wildlife in her local area around the shore of Emsworth. During her study she came across many fascinating species which ranged from birds, plants and marine life.
• Florence researched the adaptations, lifestyle and morphology of birds of prey, investigating the differences between the native species.
• Hester is a keen bee enthusiast and used her interest to put together a project explaining the role of the queen, drones and workers in a hive, looking at the lifecycle of bees, the role they play in pollination and the products we can harvest from hives.
