Schools and Education
Whatever the age or ability of your group, there are lots of exciting activities to choose from on our nature reserves. Days are carried out as half or full day workshops chosen from our mix-and-match menu of half-day activities. All outdoor workshops can be followed up with worksheets and other valuable classroom exercises.
Our Education Team provides high quality, hands-on environmental education activities on our nature reserves, which can enhance the teaching of many areas of the curriculum, particularly science, geography and PSHE.
Our qualified team are very experienced in working with groups of children and young people. We aim to give those taking part a sense of joy in being outdoors, and an insight into the wonders of the natural world.
All necessary considerations are given to health and safety, and we work with teachers in advance to select appropriate activities and plan your visit. All necessary equipment and activity sheets are provided for the day.
Along with our variety of fascinating nature reserves, we also operate from three education centres: For more information on any of the programmes or for a teacher’s pack , please contact one of our education officers : Main Office: Northern Office: Attenborough Nature Centre:
