Inspiring children to connect with nature
At Avon Wildlife Trust, we’re passionate about getting children outdoors, connecting with the natural world and inspiring them to act on behalf of nature. We have more than 40 years of experience in leading and supporting high quality outdoor learning experiences, from early years to higher education.
Let's get outdoors!
We offer both day and residential visits at our dedicated learning centre at Folly Farm.
A residential stay at the Folly Farm Centre offers a fantastic and memorable opportunity to explore the nature reserve and wildlife at night, creating a lasting connection with nature.
Nature is all year round and so are our learning opportunities, with discounts available for bookings in the winter months.
