Schools who find new & effective ways to educate our children & take a leading role in the community are rewarded with happier children and staff, a healthier financial bottom line & recognition in the community.

Our "Healthy Learning" initiative created with teachers & PTAs in mind, ticks numerous boxes for schools. Here are the highlights:

For the school:

Free: Use our website in the classroom.

Suits all ages: The technology is used in the classroom by 5 yr olds studying ICT & the world's rainforests, up to 17-19 year olds studying Citizenship & Learning Skills for life.

Fundraising tool: Free to use & set-up. For staff, PTAs, children, parents & the local community to raise funds for the school &/or parks.

Discounts on school's purchases: School receives membership to our rewards programme, including discount on everyday items. Free.

For the class:

Fun: Explore any of the world's 77,000 protected parks (home & abroad) with NASA's images, using Google Maps/Earth. Images, maps & information are frequently updated & freely available.

Class learns to manage: Choose the park & plot to adopt & manage. Classes "twin" with a country/region, park or another school it is studying, or one nearby that it can visit.

E-interactive: Class joins our forum & read updates from those working in the park. Meet fellow Land Guardians who share your passion for conservation. Vote for projects & map & monitor parks over time.

Recognition for the class: Your image, web-link, name & message appear on a plaque in Google Earth/Maps on our website, at your plot for all to see; & on our official pdf certificate.

Works on any computer: Adopt/view your plot online, on any computer with Google Maps (free). Enjoy even better images & interaction on Google Earth (download free) or their web plug-in (also free).
