Each year there is a different focus, but the objectives are the same, to engage with the natural environment and to encourage involvement in conservation. This year the focus was on moor and mountain areas on Arran. Pupils had been challenged to discover a wild place and explore its wildness, conserve a wild place and share their experiences.
