We will create the environmental champions & future leaders we need to address the climate, nature, food & wellbeing emergency, by sharing our farm with local schools. Together we will put nature and sustainability at the heart of learning through hands on food, farming, carbon & nature programmes.

We are in a state of EMERGENCY - Climate change, declining species, food security, & mental health issues need action NOW. It is key that our children have a greater understanding & passion to find the solutions for today & the future. However, there is a disconnect between children & the natural world: • higher % of people live in urban areas • less time spent outdoors, reduced freedom to explore, & more time spent on screens • pressure re high attainment, and less time & budget for trips
We have a farm – Bore Place farm, 500 acres of woods, streams, diverse habitats & species, a dairy herd, market gardens, kitchens & staff that can share hands on experiential learning. Bore Place is a natural playground & rich learning environment for our local children to connect with nature, food & gain the benefits of being outdoors. Our solution is to offer schools our farm as part of their school setting. Together we can extend learning to create environmental champions this planet needs.
