We
deliver a variety of exciting and interactive environmental
programmes to schools and communities throughout the year.
Our Environment Education Centre has ponds, a wildlife garden,
a boardwalk and bird hides. The education we provide enhances
classroom learning as we use very visual and interactive ways
of getting our message across. We use period costumes, props
and activities to stimulate children's and adults' imaginations,
often with a few surprises along the way!

We
are engaged with local people in many projects designed to
improve Local Nature Reserves or turn derelict land into productive
landscapes for the benefit of local people and wildlife. Sometimes
we assist in the construction and running of organic allotments,
which involves reuse and recycling of materials which have
reached the end of their present life
