The Outreach programme is sponsored by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), and allows us to bring some of the Aigas experience to your classroom. This means that we can reach out to more children, particularly those who could not otherwise visit the field centre. We have some set topics such as Biodiversity for nurseries and Plants for primary age. We can easily make a session to fit your needs including minibeasts, seeds, mammals and more.

We can also help you to develop the biodiversity in your school grounds, in both an advisory role and a hands-on role. For instance at Bishop Eden’s School, we have put in planters as well as making bird boxes, insect hidey homes and growing vegetables.

The main focus of our Outreach project is to highlight biodiversity and the other natural heritage targets of SNH. The service is free.
