Stories, key environmental messages and activities, including the use of trail cameras, are all found this this brilliant booklet produced by The British Carnivore Project.

Urban tails explores urban wildlife, particularly foxes, through the conversations and experiences of two young characters, Alice and Jack, while promoting environmental awareness and conservation.

Several themes are covered: Urban wildlife and their natural behaviours, human interactions and the importance of coexistence, the impacts of feeding wildlife, coexistence strategies for urban living, and our connections with wildlife as the seasons change.

The script like stories and eco-challenges make this an ideal resource for a science club, cross curricular event or environmentally themed days.

The British Carnivore Project is a nationwide programme that centres around research, education, and knowledge exchange. Thier goal is to understand the impact of environmental changes, such as climate and urbanisation, on the behaviour and cognition of wild carnivores in the UK, and how this, in turn, shapes people’s relationship with these animals and nature more broadly.
Their primary study species include red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and European badgers (Meles meles) from over 300 urban and rural locations throughout England, Scotland and Wales, and pine martens (Martes martes) throughout the Scottish Highlands.
