Resources and activities

We provide a range of free materials to help you deliver engaging and memorable outdoor learning. Tried and tested by teachers, they include tree planting resources, Nature Detectives activities and lots more.

Many of our activities can be done in your school grounds or out in the woods, with plenty of ideas to continue learning back in the classroom. Our resources are linked to the English national curriculum (KS1, KS2 and KS3), but they're suitable for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland too.
