Learn new skills. Conservation and sustainability courses for all.

Our diverse range of programmes help you to live more sustainably in your home, your garden, restore the local environment, reduce waste and more. Feel great while learning with others and helping our natural world.

Our courses are practical, innovative and inspirational. We offer a diverse range of topics to help people with their environmental challenges.

Some are free, some are not. Free courses have been subsidised by a grant we received, yet it is important to offer you other valuable courses that haven't been subsidised. And therefore, a small fee to cover the costs and pay a facilitator. 

Bookings are essential to secure your spot. Browse below or check out all courses and events here.
