It was late autumn in Wuhan’s Tianxinzhou Park, and a group of primary school students were taking part in a bird-watching activity, admiring the migratory birds (候鸟) through binoculars (双筒望远镜).
“Look at their shining feathers, so beautiful!” one student said excitedly, pointing at the birds and explained, “They are black storks (黑鹳) They are compared to pandas because only about 1, 000 of the birds are alive in China. We need to protect them.”
Bird-watching is one of the activities offered by the program “Park Classes”. The program, organized by the Wuhan Garden and Forestry Bureau, aims to encourage primary and middle school students to get close to nature.
Another activity offered by “Park Classes” is the restoration (恢复) of small and micro-wetland, which also helps students bridge what they have learned at school with the local environment.

During their field research, the team found that the area was not rich in wildlife. For example, not a lot of fish could be found there. After further study, they discovered that there were few kinds of underwater and floating plants in the micro-wetland, which prevented fish and other wildlife. The students then worked out a protection plan and put it into practice.
“It’s meaningful,” Students from the team mentioned, “I have learned that wetlands are home to many plants and animals. And I will take action to protect them. I am looking forward to more activities like this.”
“Wuhan is known as an international wetland city with 165 rivers and 166 lakes,” said Ms. Mo, a parent, “We should make full use of the advantages of our city and connect children to nature through outdoor activities.”
