Having been forced to close its doors to groups of pupils in March, the conservation charity is pleased to be able to once again help children reconnect with nature in a safe and secure environment.

Mark Stead, WWT’s national formal learning manager, said: “We’re so excited to be welcoming schools back to our wetland centres. It hasn’t been the same without them and many of our regular visitors have told us that they’ve missed seeing children learning about the importance of protecting wetlands and their wildlife.

“The last few months have been a challenging time for teachers and we’ve been working hard to ensure that they and their pupils can still have a fantastic time whilst remaining safe on site. It will be great to once again see children’s faces light up as they discover the wonder of wetlands and their wildlife.”

The curriculum-linked learning sessions at Arundel make the most of the sprawling open-air environment. They are hands-on and suitable for a range of ages and abilities, being led by experienced staff to promote learning through exploration and discovery.

Staff have been spending the past few months putting in place all of the steps necessary to keep school groups and other visitors safe and are now taking bookings for November.

As the current situation remains uncertain, WWT will also guarantee that schools can re-book or cancel free of charge should they be unable to visit due to coronavirus.
