We deliver educational activities for primary school children (aged 4 to 11 years old) and we support adults with learning disabilities in accredited and therapeutic training opportunities.
We also offer courses, workshops and placements and farm experiences to the youth (11 - 18 years) and adults in general (18 years plus).
Schools & Education Providers
We run a range of curriculum linked Outdoor Education sessions and Forest School sessions (level 3 trained leader) for primary aged children, as well as Bespoke Programmes and alternative curriculum and Work Experience Placements for youth of all ages including practical sessions in animal care, gardening, cooking, conservation and bushcraft.
If you can't make it to us, we can also come to you with an incubator, a chicken or a consultancy to help you maximise your organisation's outdoor learning experience, or even deliver sessions at your own space.
