Discover Heathland
The Open Air Laboratories (OPAL) network is an initiative which aims to create and inspire a new generation of nature-lovers by encouraging people to explore, study, enjoy and protect their local environment. OPAL began in 2007 with a total of 15 partners, headed by Imperial College London, working together to deliver OPAL projects. Through a wide range of local and national programmes, the project aims to encourage people from all backgrounds to get back in touch with nature whilst generating valuable scientific data concerning the state of our environment. Lowland heathland is one of Britain's rarest and most threatened habitats. It is also home to a diverse range of unique flora and fauna. These resources help students to learn more about this habitat with activities, suggested field work and guides to heathland plants and animals.
