We have an educational programme which we offer throughout the school year and during the Summer we also run family-friendly, nature-related events as well. (note on Covid19)
The school sessions are provided at Eastbrookend Country Park and Barking Park, plus the ‘Rivers’ topic takes place at The Chase Nature Reserve. Full details are available on our website: www.lbbd.gov.uk/the-outdoor-classroom where the pdf leaflet is also available to download (Download here). The leaflet outlines the session topics that we are currently offering.
