EDUCATION & MEDIA

Some of the Trust’s most important work relates to educating the public about conserving and encouraging wildlife.  It promotes the message that many of Britain’s most cherished ‘natural’ landscapes were shaped by farmers and foresters using the land in the same way over many centuries.  These landscapes need to be carefully managed if their extraordinary beauty and ecological diversity is not to be lost forever.

The principal ways the Trust conveys its message are:

 Education Initiatives 

Schools Initiative

Through its Schools Initiative the Trust encourages educational visits to its wildlife sites by local school children, including Kemerton Lake Nature Reserve, which has a dipping platform and two bird-watching hides for use by schools.

Forest School 

Forest School is a nationwide scheme which aims to provide children of all ages with areas of woodland in which to play and learn. The Trust provides a site in South Wiseacre Wood, Kinsham, where children have the opportunity to learn about the natural environment, and how to solve problems and co-operate with others. The Forest School programme runs for around 36 weeks throughout the year.  For more information please visit the Forest School website.
