School & Group Visits

The Ranger service includes teaching Environmental Education at Holt Country Park. This aims to promote a healthy and caring interaction between the learning group and the natural environment to the benefit of both.

The Rangers will plan and lead a full or half day programme suited to your requirements. Any age group from pre-school to GCSE can be accommodated. A recommended maximum group size is approximately 30. Larger groups may have to be split for teaching purposes. The Rangers can suggest activities for pupil's unaccompanied studies.

Charges
