Wilderness Environmental Education
Transforming education through outdoor classrooms
As one of only 11 projects this year funded by the Rewilding Britain’s Innovation Fund we are very honoured to have been chosen. The Innovation Funding will help to create an outdoor classroom at our 92 acre ancient woodland – Mann Wood, offering transformative education on rewilding, using the healing power of nature.
