Learning resources

Free-to-download educational resources.

When we’re involved in projects, a familiar output is ‘legacy’ learning materials – produced as free-to-download resources, for everyone to use.

What’s explored in the resources depends on the project – it might be wildlife identification resources, creative craft ideas, lesson plans and content ideas, activity sheets or games to play with children to help them engage with nature, or trail routes to help people discover wildlife, geology, or science.

Similarly, the audiences vary – resources can be used by parents and guardians, teacher and home schoolers, or visitors to the Cotswolds.
