The importance of being Ernest
Our founder, Ernest Cook, had great wealth thrust upon him. Combining this good fortune with a passion for conservation, he bought several country estates which were eventually bequeathed to The Ernest Cook Trust – the educational charity he established in 1952.
The importance of being you
The important work he began continues to thrive today. This success emanates from a diverse range of people who share the wealth of their skills and abilities, working together for one of the UK’s foremost providers and funders of Outdoor Learning.
Our work makes a difference to children, young people, their families and communities throughout the UK, especially those who are underserved. We help to nurture a lifelong journey of learning, appreciation and respect for the countryside. We do this through grant support, direct delivery, research and advocacy.
