Learning in Northants

Our woodlands and forests are the perfect places to learn first hand about nature, wildlife and the world around us.

Looking for minibeasts at Forest School

These woods offer a fantastic learning opportunity for people of all ages and abilities, combining 'hands-on' education with ideas for active minds.

Our rangers can offer educational programmes designed to meet National Curriculum targets, as well as activities for the Life-Long Learner.

 

 

There are several packages to choose from, or the session can be tailored to your needs. Groups looking for day or half-day ranger-led programmes can visit the woods listed below (others may be possible by arrangement). For more information about what packages are available, click on 'Schools' in the left-hand menu.
