Outside is Fun is a new and exciting project from The Conservation Volunteers where we will work alongside schools in South Yorkshire to make the local landscape a vital part of children’s education.
Built upon the sites of the region’s impressive former coal mining industry, The Conservation Volunteers’ will partner with primary schools within walking distance of 6 Land Trust Community Woodlands across Barnsley, Rotherham and Doncaster. Children will not only engage with their local natural environment but also learn about the history of the place they call home!
Our team will develop bespoke programmes of outdoor learning with each school to be delivered over the course of the 3-year project.
The project is part of the larger Children & Nature Programme that is funded by the Department for Education as part of the Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan.
