Description

Set up over 400 years ago, The Box Moor Trust has a diverse range of habitats, including woodland, meadows, ponds, rivers, and agricultural and urban areas.

We deliver a varied curriculum to schools and community groups, including science, geography, agriculture, art, literacy, maths, history and citizenship. We also offer seasonal and bushcraft courses and a Forest Schools programme. Family Activity days are held in the school holidays. Our emphasis is on direct, first-hand investigation and exploration using a variety of teaching methods and learning styles.

All age groups can visit, all year round. Lists of our ready-made courses can be found on our website. We are able to tailor these as required.

Our facilities include: our Old Barn classroom and outdoor shelter, a car park suitable for coaches by the new Box Moor Trust Centre, toilets (inc. disabled), pond dipping platforms, mini-beast hunting areas and a boardwalk through the woodland. Our facilities have good disabled access.

All courses are taught by fully qualified staff with first aid training and DBS/CRB clearance. All equipment is provided. Health and safety and child protection are high priorities and all activities are risk assessed. We hold the Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge. Before you come, you will be provided with full details of your visit and how you should prepare.
