September Countryside Classroom

There’s a new newsletter from the Countryside Classroom.  There are features on the merging of LEAF and FACE, the new quarry trail at Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT), the Manchester Environmental Education Network (MEEN) project Workshops for Wildlife, the launch of the Canal & River Trust of its own John Muir Schools Award encouraging children to discover, explore, conserve and share wild places, and a curriculum resource from the John Muir Award itself which the Trust says can “support teachers in delivering learning outcomes through practical, creative and engaging approaches”.
