Schools
Suffolk Wildlife Trust has worked with schools across the county for over 40 years, to inspire interest in the natural world and to connect children with Suffolk's wildlife and wild landscapes.
We have three approaches to working with schools: Officer-led schools visits hosted by a member of our Engagement team, self-led visits to our nature reserves, and our Wilder Schools programme - where we work with schools to deliver longer-term education and wildlife projects with students.
Officer-led school visits
We host a range of EYFS, KS1 and KS2 days for schools at many our beautiful nature reserves and in wild landscapes across Suffolk. Led by a member of our Engagement team, our programmes are filled with active learning, hands-on activities, and opportunities to explore in nature.

Self-led visits on our nature reserves
Bring your group to our Carlton Marshes, Foxburrow, or Lackford Lakes nature reserve where we have developed a range of bookable, self-led activity sessions designed for schools to creata a tailored day out.

Wilder Schools
We are working with a number of schools across Suffolk on longer-term projects to embed nature into the curriculum and improve the school grounds for children and wildlife.
