Keep Outdoor Education Centres open

Give financial support and announce the inclusion of residential visits in the curriculum. and encourage schools to include regular residential visits

Why is this important?

As Directors of an environmental outdoor education centre in the recent past for two decades we have experienced children (and teachers) discover a new and abiding relationship with the natural world which at a time when we are experiencing the onset of environmental and climate disaster is essential for future generations. An eight year old who had never seen the stars seeing the milky way for the first say exclaimed, "There ain't no stars in Kilburn". For the first time he was experiencing beyond himself.
