The Sustainability Centre is a fascinating example of the successes - and pitfalls - that can accompany a fundamental change in the way we live our lives. For secondary school pupils, it is a rich source of ideas and information, in these areas:

• Biomass energy and managing woodlands.
• Photovoltaic panels and solar water heating.
• Water saving measures.
• Sustainable buildings.
• Green tourism, in our hostel and on our camp site.
• Managing chalk grasslands and coppice hazel.
• Food and farming.
• Green burials, and management of the new woodland.

Curriculum links to topics in Geography, Science, Design & Technology, ICT and Citizenship also make this trip worthwhile. A 1.5 hour visit can give a good overview of our project. Please contact for further information if you would like to arrange a day programme or overnight stay.
