Shropshire Wildlife Trust has worked alongside children and young people for over 30 years and has an excellent track record of delivering nature-inspired workshops both in and out of school.
All our sessions support key areas of the national curriculum, and we work closely with teachers and subject specialists to keep our work fresh and relevant.
