Forest School Programme

We believe Forest School is an invaluable experience for students, equally we understand the pressures schools face which make training teachers and freeing classroom time difficult. Our expert educators can deliver high quality sessions on site or at one of our local reserves. Learning is child led so all sessions will be different depending on where the students’ imaginations and interests take them...“No one will protect what they don’t care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced.”Sir David Attenborough

EcoPark

Each year thousands of young people are inspired by the wildlife they encounter on their visits there. EcoPark offers opportunities for children in this inner city area to get hands on with nature and discover the wonders of the natural world for the first time. Six local primary schools make regular use of EcoPark, with many more also visiting for one-off sessions, and there are also free activities for families every school holiday funded by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
Outdoor Learning
EcoPark offers national curriculum-linked environmental education activities to schools across Birmingham and the Black Country.
