Now more than ever during the pandemic, we are recognising the value of green spaces, demonstrated by the increased visitor numbers we have received at our sites since March. However, the public lacks understanding about green spaces, the environment and the impact of our everyday choices on ecosystems which contribute to climate change. Without access to green space, education and active engagement with the environment, behaviour will not change, thus exacerbating climate change.

Earth Trust provides free access to nine high quality green spaces, which span woodlands, farmland, riverbanks, a lake and scheduled ancient monument. Earth Trust uses these green spaces as 'outdoor classrooms' for a range of environmental educational opportunities encompassing: courses for children and young people including those with special educational needs; volunteering opportunities for adults; and events for families, connecting everyone with nature for their well-being and education.
