BE WILD SESSIONS AT WATERCRESS FARM
Set within our rewilding project at Watercress Farm, our free nature connection programme offers people of all ages a unique insight into the natural world.
Our BE Wild sessions (for classes of up to 30) offer three visits over the school year for children to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of nature in a way that fosters curiosity and builds a strong sense of belonging. Through this understanding, children will learn to protect nature.
Our recommeded age is Yr 3- Yr 10 however we accept bookings for all ages. Please contact us ( nature.connection@belmont.estate) before booking if you would like to bring more than one class/day.

We have a limited number of schools that we can offer this experience to. If you do not book your 3 visits together, then your single booking may be cancelled.
ABOUT SESSIONS
Unlike traditional education, our programme focuses on connection with nature,through the unrestrained joy of self-discovery and collaboration through play. We encourage children to let their imaginations run wild as they explore and learn whatever they need to in that moment.
The visit begins with a wild walk, exploring our land ,free range animals and wildlife.After lunch around the fireside, children are free to explore our riverside woodland and stream.
“If we want children to flourish, to become truly empowered, then let us allow them to love the earth before we ask them to save it.” - David Sobel
“The children were so happy and fully immersed themselves into the experience. It was magical to watch them have the chance to be totally free in nature.” – Milton Park
