Nature for everyone

We aim to make all our sessions as inclusive and accessible as possible. While some of our learning sites may have limitations, we’re always happy to discuss options – whether that’s finding the right site or bringing the session to you.

Our activities are thoughtfully designed to engage a wide range of learners, including those with additional needs and neurodivergences. Many of our primary sessions, like Exploring Wetlands, can be adapted for older age groups and have been well received by secondary, FE alternative provision, and SEND groups.
