We are so pleased to offer our outreach school programme with two different options;
Firstly is bringing the bugs to you! We are lucky to have such a large team of tropical bugs at BEECHE and we want to ensure we can spread the love for these little beauties. Our outreach school programme means we can bring these large bugs to you. Focusing on a specific subject of your choice, we can teach them in a fun and practical way whilst giving them the chance to get up close and personal with some beautiful bugs! This includes four main groups; insects like our stick insects, beetles and mantises, myriapods like our giant African millipedes, molluscs like our gorgeous big snails and finally our arachnids such as Willow our Curly Haired Tarantula.
Secondly we know times can be rather tricky especially to get coaches to come to us on a school visits, therefore we are pleased to offer you the chance to still have a fantastic school trip! If you have a forest school area we can come to you, or more excitingly as part of idverde we can meet you at one of our sister parks! Please see the map below to see if you are close to one of our sister sites;
