Secondary

We work with secondary schools to help fulfil their curriculum needs in science and geography topics.

Some schools in the Chilterns are lucky to a chalk stream in their grounds or close by and we are able to work with the school and students to help protect and improve them.

Education session details that we offer can be found by downloading our programme. These sessions can be offered at year group assemblies, for eco committees and stem clubs. We are happy to offer bespoke education sessions please contact us to discuss more.
