Learning outdoors
Land is our classroom. Whether unearthing minibeasts or training for an apprenticeship, whether on a farm or in an urban green space, learning outdoor opens a new world for people of all ages. Come and learn, explore, and grow outdoors.
Down-to-earth learning for all walks of life. Come and learn, explore and grow outdoors.
Outdoor Learning
We are an educational charity grounded in the land, working with schools, partners, and organisations that support young people. Through our Outdoor Learning, we aim to improve the life chances of young people by fostering confidence, inspiring curiosity, promoting resilience, and cultivating a deeper understanding of the natural world.
Land-based skills
We know that learning on the land can sow seeds for a lifelong connection to the land – and for some, the skills learned can lead to a new career with mud on your boots and fresh air in your lungs.
Youth empowerment
We are an organisation for young people and with young people, and we want to support them to cultivate an enriched society. One that values both the pastoral and the practical, and is led by the generations of tomorrow.
Our impact
Unearth all the extraordinary work we deliver and fund, with our brilliant partners, up and down the country.

I am going to ensure we have a weekly slot to continue our Outdoor Learning as it was quite amazing how well they treated each other, and how much more willing they were to learn when the session was outdoors and very practical
