Valuing our valleys for future generations
We are fortunate to be surrounded by such magnificent countryside and it is the responsibility of all of us to keep it that way!
As residents of Valleys communities, we can ensure that the Valleys are there for future generations by educating our children and young people about the history of the area and the importance of protecting our natural environment. Shared learning like this from an early age is crucial, so that our children grow up taking pride in our Valleys and wanting to protect them.
On this page you’ll find a series of downloadable learning resources, for use at home, in school or in and around the Valleys Regional Park, to help educate children as they learn about the importance of caring for and protecting the Valleys (and all the people and places in them).
We’ll cover topics including:
- the wildlife and natural habitat found in the region;
- the history and legends of the region; and
- the culture and communities of the region.
More resources will be added, so revisit every so often to see what’s new!
