A new award scheme has been launched to help local schoolchildren learn about wildlife.
The Manx Wildlife Trust hopes it encourages children to make their school grounds more wildlife friendly as they can be important habitats.
To achieve the 'Wilder School Award,' classes or clubs can complete at least half of the suggested activities, which range from making bird feeders to upcycling plant pots.
The charity wants children to have the opportunity to experience nature in their daily lives.
