Outreach Environmental Education

As well as our centre based activities we also offer a variety of exciting  programmes that we can deliver in your school . The activities have been designed to have strong links with core areas of the National Curriculum and the programmes outlined can be adapted to suit the needs of the group. They provide a fresh, hands on approach and new ideas for using your school grounds!

Sessions can be run at your school or on a nature reserve near to you! All our programmes are aimed at KS2 and KS3 but can be adapted to suit your group.

Costs
Most of the programmes are half day in length, although they can be adapted to fit in with , for example, a school environment day or climate change event. They can also be run twice in one day for different groups.
Half day: £125
Full Day: £175
