Wildwatch Watch - The National Organisation
Watch is the junior membership scheme of the Scottish Wildlife Trust and Scotland's leading environmental action club for kids.

Watch is all about YOU - and the natural world that surrounds you.
There are more than 5,000 Watch members in Scotland and taking part in Watch is an exciting way to explore your surroundings and get closer to the wildlife you share it with.

Watch members receive loads of exciting wildlife goodies throughout the year; including magazines and posters sent to you at home that give you the low-down on Scotland's wildlife - with in-depth stories, wildlife news, campaigns, cartoons, competitions and reports from young people all over the country.  There are plenty of great pictures and photographs plus ideas that will help you take your own positive action.

Across the UK there are hundreds of children's Wildlife Watch groups where you can get stuck into nature exploration and discovery, games and practical activities with other young people.  We let you know what's happening near you.

Your Local Club: Stirling Wildlife Watch Club

Stirling Wildlife Watch Club is a volunteer-led club which has been up and running for three years under the leadership of Clare Abel - a qualified science teacher and a Science Education Co-ordinator at Glasgow Science Centre.  Sessions are fun, a great place to make new friends and they incorporate:
  • input from wildlife experts
  • the learning of new skills
  • conservation activities
  • arts and crafts
  • environmental games and
  • members aged nine and above may be able to work towards the Discovery Level of the John Muir Award. 

Activities normally take place on the last Saturday of each month from 1.30 - 3.30 p.m. and are aimed at children between 6 and 12 years old.  The standard meeting place is the Cambuskenneth Centre, South Street, Cambuskenneth, FK9 5NL but many of the meetings take place outdoors in natural areas around Stirlingshire. The charge per session is £2 per child to cover the cost of equipment and refreshments.  For more information or to take part in any of our monthly meetings which are shown below, please contact Clare on wildlifewatchclub@googlemail.com
