Welcome to the Woods theme!
In this module we will become immersed into the ancient woodland of Mourne Park, which is in the heart of the Mourne Mountains, Northern Ireland.
Many animals live here, including a large number of mammals, birds and fish. We are going to focus on three in particular:
Badger
Buzzard
Deer
Our Space To Learn camera network records these animals in the wild as they travel past, triggering the AI cameras and sensors. Pupils from certain Northern Ireland schools visit the woodland to explore their habitat, and to find signs of life.
Badger tracks
The camera and sensing equipment is always running, night and day. Experiments that are created by children in Northern Ireland and in England connect into that network so that together we can uncover and explore this special environment.
We share footage and data with wildlife agencies who work together finding ways to help and support them
We can all learn from pupil experimentation data – it is a team effort!

Each theme also offers a wellbeing focus, which is designed to help young people to reach their full potential through improved confidence and higher levels of engagement.
There are so many creatures and wild flora & fauna to learn about in Mourne Park.
