Outdoor Education
Spearheaded by our partners Action for Conservation, we are developing a bespoke outdoor education programme at Penpont to open up opportunities for more young people to connect with nature and its active restoration.
In October 2023, we launched our inaugural ranger programme with AFC. It is a paid 9 week work experience placement here at Penpont, exploring a range of skills including conservation, woodland management, tree nursery practices and regenerative farming, as well as helping coordinate education days for school and youth groups. This Rangership is part of our flagship education programme which is committed to investing in young people, their wellbeing, skills and their environment.
If you’re a young person, school or youth group interesting in participating in the outdoor education project or rangership please get in touch.
“Being involved in The Penpont Project has been one of the best things that I’ve ever done. Not only is it really important in terms of restoring nature to Penpont, but it is also key in showing how valuable youth leadership and engagement can be.”
