Our Commitment to the Environment

At Suntrap we provide memorable, first-hand experiences that educate and inspire; developing respect and understanding on ways to protect our planet. 

Through education we aim to inspire visitors to take ownership of the natural world and to make positive contributions to improve their local area.

We hope to work with young people to develop their interest in enviro-causes which resonate with them and empower them with the confidence to stand up for what they believe is right.

To protect our planet we'll reduce our carbon emissions, leading by example to promote positive environmental sustainability aspects of teaching and learning.
