Discover local nature and climate groups and find out what your community is doing to reduce its carbon footprint and promote nature.
Practical, nature based experiential learning and well-being are at the core of what we offer. Through our courses the vital message of conservation and real sustainability are integrated into the experiential learning process. Ultimately we are establishing Deer Wood as hub of low impact ‘Green Learning’ excellence by aligning ourselves with other similarly oriented organisations.
