Ecological Education Base
An exciting and interactive education base has been designed with 50 main education display features. There are three buildings with the main building incorporating 3 floors of displays. The ecological education base has been constructed together with a combined wetland water treatment system. A Plan of the education base can be seen
here. In addition to the education base a
schools outreach programme is being planned where staff of Xixi and Xixs conservation/education officer will visit schools free of charge. The subjects covered in the base through interactive displays are as follows. Watch this space for more photos and education information as we continue to develop this website.
