I'm trying to track down some posters about winter wildlife and flowers, useful for local children. I can't find anything online. I'd like encourage kids / families to look out for winter birds, plant winter-flowering plants and be aware the animals and insects around and about. Any leads or links are very welcome. Many thanks

There might be some info available from local National Trust properties and the like, as some of them have winter gardens. I know Ashwoods Nursery has winter garden tours of John Massey's garden, so there might be promotional material available from there.
Wildlife Trust might help on the wildlife front, or RSPB

I don't know about posters but this book about winter birds is beautiful.

A quick google under the author's name brought this up

If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

The Woodland Trust is brilliant for this sort of thing - have a look at the Nature Detectives winter pages: https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/naturedetectives/activities/search/?activitySeason=100016061

LG, that is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to all for the suggestions.

Anything specially on winter / spring flowers to plant would be great. Aimed at kids...

There are lots of sites for teachers - just Google 'teaching materials' and your topic, which should be helpful and can be age specific if you wish.
