Join the Great Plant Hunt

The Great Plant Hunt is the UK's biggest primary school science project. This exciting project encourages primary school students to explore the natural world around them and join other schools in the biggest ever school science project.

Forming part of the Darwin 200 initiative, The Great Plant Hunt invites primary school students to follow in the footsteps of Darwin by going on nature walks in and around their school grounds. They'll find out more about plants and in the process learn key scientific skills.
