Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) - FREE nature connection programme for schools

We're celebrating the publication of Jon Cree and Marina Robb's new book (May 2021) after a 4 year project!

The University’s new BA (Hons) Education Studies (Primary), which launched in 2019, has a contingent of highly skilled and experienced educators to equip new teachers with specialist outdoor skills, and it seems everyone wants to get involved!

The students have loved immersing themselves in woodland tasks and adventures but with a serious side to skills development: this is more than a stroll in the park! Students are working towards the Forest and Outdoor Learning Award (FOLA), which is a national certificate recognised by the Forest School Association and the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF).

Free tree pack's available from the Queen’s Green Canopy tree planting initiative.

A new study conducted by researchers at the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research in Leipzig shows the positive effect of urban nature on mental health.

It was set up by Sam Wyman and Matt Harder, as a platform for discussing all things outdoor education related. Anyone from any outdoor education background can join in, as long as they have a Twitter account.
