Practical Environmental Training Course

This is part of our School for Environment Program to deliver practical environmental training to a group of students currently enrolled on a Level 2 Environment & Development Studies course at SPAT-C.  The course objective is to enable learners to understand and acquire knowledge of some of the main areas of activity that impinge on the national and international environment, including the impact of mass tourism, deforestation and human activity as well as the knowledge of the scopes for public participation in the preservation of the environment.  The existing course is classroom based but it is now proposed to provide additional outdoor practical sessions provided by Heeley City Farm Training to give learners a hands-on experience of local environmental and conservation work. 

Work with Young People

We are currently working with 4 groups of young people – YAAF, Saalik, Chinese community group, and Open Access Provision Wensley Community Centre. We have a number of visits to the Peak District as well as local fishing and cycling trips planned. 

Walking groups

We currently have one regular walking group which takes place the first Saturday of every month.  We are organizing a few more local walks this summer and the first one will take place July 21^st 2007.  Individuals and families are invited to take part in this event.
