We encourage schools and groups to make use of the wood in their own way and can provide input on request

 

Education Programme 2025

The following local schools are working towards the Scottish Junior Forester Award (with our assistance):

  • St Clement's School - every Monday morning

Kiltearn Primary School, our local primary, visit frequently to use the woods as an outdoor classroom.

Other schools make special visits, especially in the summer term. We can suggest activities and may be available to lead some. Contact 07927 049930.

We can assist with risk assessments.


EDUCATION PACK AVAILABLE HERE

For use in support of  programmes run at Evanton Wood, packed with ideas for use in and out of the classroom the pack is a great resource for teachers and visitors alike.  It is available as a hard copy and as a download.


Dipping platform and pond

Pond site, dipping platform, boardwalk and seating / benches - a great place to study invertebrates and amphibians.

 

Gie me ae spark o' nature's fire,
That's a' the learning I desire;
Then tho' I drudge thro' dub an' mire
At pleugh or cart,
My muse, tho' hamely in attire,
May touch the heart.

Robert Burns 'Epistle to J. Lapraik'
