we do things a bit differently...
Day courses for children and adults that mix relaxed, hands-on practical learning, with interesting facts. The focus is on sparking fascination while having fun. This all takes place in a Somerset meadow. Students can also camp over night with their family. We believe that knowledge should be shared and price our courses accordingly.
Small classes
With no more than 10 in a group people can go at their own pace and aren’t left behind. A range of options to explore on each topic means that no one is sitting bored.
nature school
Discover what’s going on around us.
Ecology matters
Our aim is to encourage understanding and connection with the world around us and all topics highlight the inter-dependency of the web of life.
Camp out
Make a night to remember and camp out off grid in a wild flower meadow on the Somerset levels.
Course facilitators ensure there are multiple options to ensure each person’s learning style is accommodated.
What is the nature school approach?

Comfy Spaces
The teaching is hands on and based outside; however there are also comfy indoor spaces if it is too wet or cold, like our mobile classroom and library bus.
