Education

The Trust delivers environmental education through practical activities which are complemented by the wide use of Information Technology. Our award winning website receives millions of hits every year and is part of Britain's National grid for Learning.

For many children, a visit to the Woodland Education Centre is the first time they have been to the countryside.

Practical Activities

Information Technology

Practical activities are complimented by a wide and innovative use of IT. Our award-winning website, which is part of Britain's National Grid for Learning attracts over 5 million hits each year from more than 100 countries. It features remote experiments, webcams, data logging, wildlife surveys and habitat restoration projects. Educational groups visiting the Centre also receive a personalised CD of environmental information.

*Conservation*	The Trust actively restores and conserves a wide variety of native British wildlife habitats, providing ideal environments for rare and endangered animals and plants.
	The Trust has restored many valuable wildlife habitats from a former derelict jungle of alien rhododendron at the Woodland Education Centre in South West England. The habitats created include lowland heath, wetland, wild flower rides and a number of woodland habitats. Since work began in 1986, much of the hard practical work has been done by hundreds of volunteers. You can find out more about our restoration work here.
Restoration of Habitats
	The large number of newly created and managed habitats support a rich variety of wildlife. Species include rare and endangered dormice and ruddy darter dragonfly, as well as otters and kingfishers. These animals and many others would cease to be present if the habitats were not maintained through ongoing conservation work. You can find out more about our wildlife here.
