Testimonial:
“I thoroughly enjoyed my learning for the 3 weeks we took part in Get Outdoors Get Active. The variation in the activities throughout the day was fantastic and really emphasised how important the natural world around us is, not just integral to life but focusing on how it affects our mental wellbeing too... It has confirmed I would like to pursue a career working outdoors/with nature and encouraged me to explore this further.”
