Wild City is a science-based project that brings to life biodiversity for Year 5 students, based in London. This five-month project sees students work with experts, the Salters’ Institute and Edible Landscapes London to explore the importance of green spaces in their lives and local communities.
Wild City features strong links to the KS2 science curriculum, off-site visits and the opportunity to have a green space built at your school.

Wild City gave our students so many rich experiences: testing soil, carrying out site surveys, measuring, designing, researching, negotiating and communicating their ideas.Teacher 2022

Join us at Salters’ Hall as your students meet the Wild City team and are introduced to the project theme of biodiversity through interactive experiments. These sessions will run for half a day.
The Wild City team visit your school to begin the design process with site surveys, recording of data and scientific investigation.
To celebrate the end of Wild City and your students’ work, you will be invited back to Salters’ Hall to showcase their designs and reflect on the future of biodiversity.
The winning school will have their Wild City design brought to life in the spring of 2023.

Our Wild City partner, Edible Landscapes London, is a not-for-profit community education project. They specialise in forest gardening – a food growing design system that mimics natural ecosystems, involving a variety of perennial plants and trees. Their volunteer sessions help Londoners learn to grow more of their own food, and propagate plants to give away to local projects.
