How can we help you?
All of our field courses are specifically tailored to your needs, your local environment and the requirements of your students. Therefore we work with you to offer a bespoke course that provides an excellent learning experience with practical fieldwork without having to undertake a residential trip.
Depending on your location we can cover a variety of topics using a number of different habitats: often the school grounds will provide some scope of studies but it's entirely feasible to use local woodlands, grasslands, streams, rivers and coasts.
We cannot list all the options or possibilities as we tailor every course individually. Please contact us to discuss how we might be able to help you.
