Environmental Education Opportunities

Welcome to this directory of Environmental Education opportunities on the Isle of Wight.

Whether you are looking for a lively interpretation of the Island’s countryside or a thought provoking experience on waste re-cycling, there is a wealth of expertise and a diverse range of centres and facilities available.

All venues have considerable experience of working with young people and some have qualified teaching staff. We are always delighted to discuss programmes with you and have special equipment, resources and materials that are designed to meet the needs of your group curriculum.

Use this list of contacts to plan your visits. Many are open throughout the year – even in mid-winter! Some members are also prepared to give talks in schools or help you design and manage your school wildlife area.
