MORE INFO:
This is a safe base from which to explore our private woodland and aquatic habitats. It is also where we house our USB microscopes, animal holding tanks, and the infamous Natural Sparks Biodiversity Collection.
Wood burning stoves push out heat between the tables in the lab for the participants. One stove was a cement mixer in its last, more boring life. Power comes from a solar panel and battery bank allowing LED lighting and other 12 volt systems (only).
SESSIONS INCLUDE: –
- Intrinsic learning to trigger thoughts about how ‘we cannot be well unless our planet is well, it is that simple’.
- 40 minutes in the lab for visual, artistic and intellectual exploration of a particular animal group and our relationship with it.
- 40 minutes in the garden, of animal handling and welfare training.
- 40 minutes in the woods, to create some habitats for the chosen animal group… which will include testing teamwork.
- 20 minutes in a treehouse, linking individual passions to actions that will improve sustainability in your community
- Playtime!
