Yes, we do. We have a very successful Stewards in Training Program that runs through the island schools and is supported by the schools and teachers. We also have Family Days in the summer, which are weekend days where parents can come and explore various aspects of nature with a guide. Please check our Events page for more information on upcoming Programs.
Yes, ask us! We provide visits to landowners who are interested in signing a voluntary Stewardship Agreement to guide the care of their land. A Stewardship Agreement is non-binding but helps to encourage landowners to consider things like planting native species, removing invasive plants and maintaining natural habitats for wildlife. Contact us for more info.
Once in a while we have a guided walk, so check our Events page for more information on upcoming walks.
Yes, we have maps of our nature reserves on this website – go to the Nature Reserves page and click on a reserve.
