Wildwood Trust is a native species conservation charity established in 2002 to push the boundaries of innovative conservation and rewilding. We work with nature to fight the biodiversity crisis, to halt the extinction of species and to create resilient habitats in which nature thrives. We focus on evidence-based solutions to return native species and recreating truly wild spaces.
As one of the leading British animal conservation charities in the UK, we are at the forefront of pioneering conservation projects, making us an invaluable place to visit to learn about conservation, animals and the natural world. We offer engaging workshops linked to the national curriculum, educational tours and talks for a wide range of ages. Or, immerse yourself in authentic historical experiences during our Living History and Blean Bison sessions.
Set in 40 acres of ancient woodland, Wildwood is an excellent place to practice woodland ecology techniques such as invertebrate and plant sampling and small mammal trapping. We also have an outreach programme which allows us to bring conservation into your classroom. GCSE, A-level and IB groups can join us at the beach to collect data using practical rocky shore and sand dune sampling techniques.

Smooth entrance to venue and staff were friendly. All pupils enjoyed the visit and we managed to incorporate our science and literacy topics while there. Being able to walk through some areas on bridge paths and the bear bridge is a great way of getting up closer and a fun experience for all. Seeing the keepers working while there allowed for questions to be answered by viewing for basic needs and looking after animals.

the stone age workshop was really good, the gentleman who run it was very informative, the children were enjoying the interactive nature of it and the man was also willing to answer any questions they had
