Education for everyone

Cornwall Wildlife Trust considers that education is vital to the future of the wildlife and natural habitats of Cornwall. It seeks to raise awareness amongst the adults of today and through schools and youth groups, the decision makers of tomorrow.

Adults

We run informal courses and also guided walks, field trips and talks; please see our What's on page for details. If you would like to organise a talk please go the natural history talks page.

There is also the opportunity for learning through leisure with our local and specialist groups:

Children and young people

For youngsters, the Trust delivers environmental education sessions to primary schools and runs informal education sessions through the Trust's junior branch, Fox Club:

The Trust provides resources for schools and teachers and the opportunity for adults to develop skills through volunteering:
