Science & Planet > Enjoy nature (the links below will take you online)
Contact a nature organisation
	English Nature This is the official site of English Nature and it contains information about all aspects of the work that they are involved in and any upcoming events. There are also some very useful categorised links.
	NatureNet There is a great deal of information here about nature and conservation in the UK. You can search their site for specific information whilst the main site categories deal with countryside law, conservation, education, agencies and news. A good site.
	RSPB This is the official site of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. They have lots of up to date information about their work around the country. There are some good links to other conservation organisations and details of how to support the RSPB.
	The Wildlife Trusts This is the official site of the Wildlife Trusts Partnership, who are responsible for wildlife reserves all over Britain. The site has some interesting information about the reserves and the work of its staff and volunteers as well as some useful links.
Contact a rambling association
	The Ramblers Association This is the homepage of The Ramblers Association. It has links to hostels and B+Bs in the UK and is possibly the only site you'll need to visit if you wish to find a local ramblers group. Also has loads of other useful links.
Find a street map and get directions
	Mapquest Mapquest was one of the first sites to attempt to map the entire world. Enter virtually any location and this site will provide you with a map. They are not always suitable for navigation but can be scaled as close as street level and are a useful guide.
	Ordnance Survey The ordnance survey site allows you to obtain any of the maps that they produce, either on the phone or online. Many maps are also available to download for personal or business use and can be tailored to a very specific area.
	Streetmap Simply enter a postcode or location and this no-frills site will quickly provide you with an accurate and clear street map of the local area. You can zoom in or out and move around the area with a click of the mouse on the screen.
Learn how to read a map
	Maps.com - Map Skills This section of the Maps.com site covers most areas of basic map skills and will help you to become a more competent map user. It covers map projections, types of maps, locations and the coordinate system, map scales and time zones.
	Navigation Skills This useful little site contains a large amount of information to help with most aspects of basic navigation, both with and without a compass. It also has loads of tips for leaving the minimum impact on the environment when travelling in the countryside.
	Ramblers Association - Navigation This is an excellent and informative page produced by the Ramblers Association. It covers all aspects of map reading and is easy to follow and very comprehensive.
