Secondary and Tertiary Education
Our environmental education programme caters for all ages from
preschool to higher education. Sessions last for two hours. They
can be self-led or run by an experienced field teacher and have
clear curriculum linked objectives. Visits are available all year
round but please book early for the summer term as this is often
fully booked.
