The South Downs National Park Authority is building on the success of the previous Generation Green project, with additional funding to deliver more nature connection in 2024-25.  This exciting expansion includes the "Discover the South Downs" initiative, which offers a variety of enriching experiences such as farm visits, residential stays and day trips, all designed to foster a deeper connection with nature for young people.

In an effort to reach students from diverse backgrounds, the initiative extends a special invitation to schools where over 30% of the pupils are eligible for pupil premium funding. These schools can participate in a fully-funded visit to the South Downs National Park. This comprehensive package not only covers the costs of the educational experience but also includes up to £450 to assist with transportation, ensuring that financial constraints are not a barrier to participation.

Our highlight of the program is the collaboration with the Goodwood Education Trust, who will be hosting the farm visits. This is a unique opportunity for schools that have not yet had the chance to explore the Trust and its educational offerings. The farm visits are specifically targeted at students aged 7 to 18, and all visits must be scheduled to take place before the 31 March. This initiative represents a fantastic opportunity for schools to introduce their students to the wonders of the South Downs, offering an immersive experience that blends education with hands-on interaction with nature. Don't miss this chance to bring your students closer to the environment and inspire the next generation of nature stewards!

We're taking bookings now, so please get in touch with us at get@goodwood.com
