Share-Net Resources

People, Places and Publications for Environmental Education

LEARNING THROUGH NATURE has been granted the opportunity to place a number of the Share-Net learning resources on this website.

Share-Net was once a section of the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA). Share-Net was an innovative South African-based, informal networking project that supported environmental education through the provision of resource materials. Over the years many people contributed to the development of the library of learning resources.

Share-Net produced low-cost teaching and learning support materials that were used by teachers across southern Africa. These resources helped schools develop environmental policies and management plans to improve the school-community environment. The resources also help teachers with lesson planning for a healthy environment, and helped learners to develop their literacy skills, while also learning to care for the environment.  The environmental materials can be used to complement one another and provide a rich, integrated learning experience.

In order to uphold tradition, all the resources are copyright free for educational purposes. Materials may be updated, adapted to local needs and copied for educational or community development purposes. However no publications may be reproduced or copied for profit.

Remaining hard copies of Share-Net resources have been stored and are available by e-mailing hospitality@wessa.co.za
