Why choose an Enspire nature walk at a location near your school?

Enspire also offer all year round inspiring nature walks at a forest/coastline close to your school ('The World Around Your School'). These engaging and hands-on studies allow the children to really get close to nature, investigate wildlife, learn new skills and see for themselves the changes that occur from season to season.
