Children and Youth in Nature
ARC deliver a number of different activities with children and young people.
We work to support children and young people
to engage with and develop a genuine connection
to the natural world.
ARC facilitate various sessions and projects that work with Children and Youth in nature, helping create a life long positive relationship to the natural world around them.
We facilitate schools and other groups to both access local woodlands and green spaces and to be part of creating new ones, giving hope and inspiration for the future.
We also provide mentoring for youth struggling with their engagement in mainstream learning in a classroom environment.
