NATURE CONNECTION

Our world has never been more disconnected; disconnected from nature and disconnected from one another.

Our mission

To inspire people to become more connected to the natural world by providing opportunities to access nature and educational experiences.

WHAT WE OFFER

Set within our rewilding project at Watercress Farm, our free nature connection programme offers people of all ages a unique insight into the natural world.

Unlike traditional education, our programme focuses on connection with nature. From the exploration of our land and wildlife, to the unrestrained joy of self-discovery and collaboration through play.

Be Wild

Schools

Our BE Wild sessions offer schools the perfect opportunity to connect with nature. For classes, we offer up to three visits over the school year for children to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of nature in a way that fosters curiosity and builds a strong sense of belonging. Through this understanding, children will learn to protect nature.

BE Inspired

Schools, higher education and universities

Our BE Inspired sessions focus on the issues that we are passionate about at Belmont. These include themes from tackling climate change and understanding the biodiversity crisis to how we grow our food. BE Inspired sessions are more educational in content but will also include nature connection and exploration of our rewilding site.

“I personally thought the session was brilliant and really engaged with the children. We also made the children do a questionnaire with 100% saying they would visit again which is fantastic.”

“The students had an amazing time. They’ve come into school today tired out and buzzing about the day; laughing about their memories and asking when they can come back.”
Broadoak Academy

“The children were so happy and fully immersed themselves into the experience. It was magical to watch them have the chance to be totally free in nature.”

“A highlight for me was watching the smiles on their faces as the water went into their wellies and watching a child that usually holds his phone tight put it down and hold his hand out to help another student climb in the stream.”

“There’s something really poetic about seeing the site grow as our students grow. I would love to bring them back to see the change when they are nearing the end of their PhD.”

“Each session you have provided has been filled with joy, discovery and a sense of freedom that young carers and their parents have discussed how wonderful their time spent at Watercress Farm was. You’ve not only offered them a chance to explore the outdoors, but also the chance to simply be children – to laugh, learn and connect with the natural world.”
