environmental awareness

“If children don’t grow up knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it.  And if they don’t understand it, they won’t protect it.  And if they don’t protect it, who will?”  – Sir David Attenborough

Our programmes allow students to enjoy, engage, and build and understanding, with the natural world. Environmental awareness is at the forefront of many young people’s minds with climate change and popular natural world documentaries. We can focus on aspects you plan to deliver back in the classroom, or you may feel that your group needs a real hands-on approach in a real natural world environment to fully appreciate and understand environmemntal issues.
