Activity highlight: #Bushcraft!

Bushcraft is a great activity for adults and children alike. Learn survival skills like plant and tree ID, fire lighting and making cordage out of natural materials.

This activity can supplement #forestschool activities too!

We had an absolutely amazing day planting over 1,800 trees in Wirksworth, Derbyshire with Rab and the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust!

In the next 5 years, these trees will start to become a diverse woodland that hosts a range of biodiversity.

Fabulous sunny/snowy day at Mount Cook today!

It's the last day of our residents #schooltrip today. Winter is an amazing time for a unique #outdoorlearning experience.

Snowy weather helps build #resilience, and gets young people thinking about how to stay safe in different environments.

We're looking forwards to connecting with other #outdoorprofessionals and anyone interested in #outdooreducation.

We also want to link with lots of #derby and #derbyshire businesses.
