Your local farm
Natural England has set up Educational Access agreements with farmers which help them host educational and care farming visits. The farm is used as outdoor learning resource to provide the opportunity to understand and experience the links between farming, conservation and food production. Go to the Countryside Classrooms website and enter Gloucestershire or your bordering county to find a local farm offering educational visits.
