Outdoor classrooms

Here at the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales, we have a highly skilled team who can transform unused areas in your school grounds into beautiful wildlife havens which also act as a fantastic learning resource, where children will learn about all the wild and wonderful creatures around them.

• We create beautiful havens for wildlife, even in the smallest of areas
• We  provide advice and support for schools so they can manage their own nature areas
• Our knowledgeable team can set up a wildlife survey within your school – find out what lives in your school grounds
• We work with schools to provide a custom made outdoor learning area where the children and staff are involved in all stages of the project
• We create outdoor classrooms to help inspire and capture pupils’ imaginations and put learning about science and nature in its most natural setting

Price is entirely dependent on what you would like to do with the space. Ring 01656 724100 or email us for more information.
