Being outside in the elements brings us all benefits, benefits that are much more extensive than can be typed up here into a meagre list. Even if those benefits are that of a greater appreciation and gratitude for the comforts that we are so lucky to have in our homes. Being outside is just good for the soul.
Part of the project was to create spaces where students could learn in accessible and enjoyable places. A place that offered an experience not just a classroom.
To really help students engage with the amazing habitats and wildlife, without compromising the condition and status of the areas, we teamed up with Lowther Forestry who did an amazing job building our two new outdoor classrooms and boardwalks into the fen and wet meadow habitats.
New outdoor classroom in pond area to be used for educational sessions.
