The Green Team is established to provide lasting and positive life-changing experiences to young people through engagement in environmental activities that enhance the natural environment, advance environmental education and promote social and mental wellbeing. The main objectives and activities focus on actively involving young people in environmental volunteering, outdoor education and improvements to their physical, social and mental wellbeing. Children and young people are given the opportunity to take part in a range of programmes, discovering and exploring the countryside, learning about the environment and their place in it, developing new skills and making improvements for the benefit of wildlife and people. Through a range of age appropriate programmes we provide increased understanding amongst young people of the processes of nature and encourage a respect for the environment that will engender care for wildlife and wild places through successive generations.
