Educational Resources

World Curlew Day is a grass-roots initiative, supported by major environmental organisations, to raise awareness of the plight of curlews.

These Curlew Educational Resources was developed for World Curlew Day as part of the LIVE Project’s environmental education programme.

We’ve put together a range of resources for you to learn more about these wonderful lizards: what they look like; tips on where you might see them; the adaptations they have to survive in cold weather. There are activity sheets, an educational video and lots more….
