Free planet-friendly family activity that links up with our Waltham Forest Climate Summit for Schools and Colleges.   

Waltham Forest is running its first online schools and colleges Climate Summit. This free week-long event will inspire and motivate learners of all ages with the resources, skills, and knowledge necessary to effect change. Following on schools will be supported to obtain their Eco-School flags, awarded to celebrate the ecological achievements of pupils. 

Has your school joined Let’s Go Zero?

This national campaign is demanding the government to  back zero carbon schools. Every school that signs up is pledging to work towards a more sustainable future, while also urging the government to support this vital mission.

Since reopening we have had our LOtC Quality Badge renewed.  This is endorsed by the Department for Education, this national award combines learning and safety into ONE easily recognisable and trusted award for ALL types of learning outside the classroom provider organisation.

We provide visitors with unlimited water straight from the tap and we don't provide fizzy drinks.

With that in mind we're excited to share this good for the eco competition with two categories split between primary and secondary pupils. Get involved and design your own advertising campaign to promote water from a tap. Entries close on Friday 1 October 2021.

Do you know any young people aged 8 -14 who'd enjoy writing about the natural world? Whether its bird or bee or nettle or tree? If you do encourage them to apply to the national newspaper, The Guardian who's on the hunt for new writers.

Save a fortune. Save the planet. Reyooz clears unwanted office furniture and equipment from large corporate businesses and gives it to schools free or at large discounts. Zero waste means massive carbon savings and a healthier, happier planet. The more we reuse, the more we do for the environment.

Suntrap takes the climate crisis very seriously and we're excited to welcome Poppy Flint as our newly appointed Climate Action Outreach Coordinator.

Let's protect our children's health from air pollution this Clean Air Day. The World Health Organisation and the UK Government recognise that air pollution is the largest environmental health risk we face today. 

We combat this by planting native trees which soak up the harmful carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.  Our link takes you to free resources for you to get involved.

On all sides of our outdoor animal homes are a range of bug hotels as well as a green roof. Our desirable residencies will benefit lots of different types of minibeast and insects such as ladybirds, bees, spiders and woodlice. Minibeasts will be able to use our bug hotels as a safe space to shelter, lay their eggs, raise their young, and seek refuge from predators.

Take part in this city-wide annual event focused on tackling climate change.

There are lots of different ways to get involved following the 5 R's mantra of reduce, refuse, recycle, reuse and rot. Throughout this week we'll be sharing daily on our social media actions to safeguard our natural world from the dangers of climate change. Do one or even all seven - please join us as there are seven days in the week and someday isn’t one of them!

On Friday 2 July 2021 at the Prince Regent Hotel in Chigwell a conference will be held for Business and Office Managers from schools in the area. Suntrap will be one of the exhibitors sharing all our offers for schools - we've even donated a prize to the raffle.

Outdoor Classroom Day is a global movement to make time outdoors part of every child’s day. On this day, teachers are encouraged to take children outdoors to play and learn.

We can't wait to put our new outdoor classroom to good use!.

Mental Health Awareness Week is running from Monday 10 May to Sunday 16 May 2021 and this year's theme is Nature which of course is the great untapped resource for a mentally healthy future.

Across Suntrap you'll find strategically placed interpretation boards displaying information about our meadows and hedgerows, wildlife habitats, invertebrates and honey bees.

Emma Smith, a local artist has been commissioned to create the signs and we can't wait to unveil them!

The Scots pine is a truly stunning coniferous tree and is Britain's only native pine. During our major landscaping, three will be planted along with other native trees. The Scots pine can grow to 30 metres high with a diameter of about 1 meter but can grow larger - wonder how tall they'll be when we celebrate 100 years of Suntrap in 2067!

Suntrap Tutor, Louise, reflects on some memorable comments and how they indicate the importance of children's outdoor experiences.

Last updated a decade ago, the revised Countryside Code provides simple guidelines to help visitors to enjoy and respect the natural world and contains new guidance on things such as foraging, feeding livestock and bagging dog poo.

It's the time of year when we notice many signs of spring all around us. Did you know that you can submit your findings to help scientists protect biodiversity?

Environmental degradation, whether close to home or further afield, can have a profound effect on us. We explore possible emotional responses and how to turn these into positives, especially for young people.

Nature is in trouble. In the UK, almost half of our wildlife is in long term decline. We are one of the most nature deprived countries in the world. To combat this, please help us to urge the government to enshrine their nature recovery targets in law and so be held accountable for them. Sign up to the linked petition set up by RSPB on behalf of the Wildlife and Countryside LINK Coalition.

In celebration of World Wildlife Day we are keeping our ponds clear of plants which would otherwise choke and degrade the habitat.   We found a couple of toads that we gently returned to the water unharmed.

The outdoor classroom is progressing well and is now ready for the roofing to be installed.  Our terraced garden at the back of the building has its top soil ready to be seeded.  A gently graded path leads from the main building up through the garden to the outdoor classroom. 

Suntrap plans to be part of the Big City Butterflies project launched Spring 2021.  We're getting involved as findings will play an important part of conservation practices.   The project presents a huge opportunity to test new approaches to conservation and inspire Londoners to discover butterflies and moths.  

We're offering out free outdoor learning support calls for schools and teachers.

These short 15 minute calls allow us to share ideas, resources and training all specially selected for you. If this would be of benefit contact us to book a time that works for you!

Guidance coming out in February 2021 from the Department for Education jointly with Public Health England on restarting residential school travel sector in Easter 2021.

One of the recommendations is to educate young people about the Climate Emergency and empower them to take action by embedding it within the school curriculum and providing them with a platform to lead the borough. Suntrap wholeheartedly supports this recommendation and will aim to play a a pivotal role in 2021.

At Suntrap we’re always looking at new ways to encourage young people to get involved with the natural world. We’ve got lots of plans in 2021 to make this happen but in the meantime sign up to the Trees for Cities London Youth Panel. You’ll get the chance to share your ideas and feelings about climate change, nature and making cities greener.

Google maps has revealed the most popular outdoor locations for a stretch of the legs for residents in the UK's major cities, based on what people search for using the tool from February 1 to October 20 2020. In London the No 1 spot is Richmond Park  and our Epping Forest cam in 5th.  Visitors to Epping Forest have increased by 10 million now up to 14 million.

Has Epping Forest helped to get you through the lockdown this year?

If so take a moment of your time to give something back to this ancient woodland and vote for our special forest in the Green Flag Award People's Choice Awards. Deadline Wednesday 25 November 2020

Recent research has shown that lack of access to outdoor space during lockdown has caused disadvantaged young children to miss out on activities which play a vital part in child development.  In particular anything requiring outdoor space and access to books.

Help us to share our activities within your local community. 

A small study in Finland has found that children whose outdoor play areas were transformed from gravel yards to min-forests showed improved immune systems within a month.  Scientists believe the improvement is related to the diversity of microbes that the children are exposed to in the natural environment.

If you’re a primary school that wants to get involved register your interest to be gifted books of The Promise and an exclusive film screening toolkit creating a whole morning of nature connection activities and actions. Deadline for nominations is Friday 2 October 2020.

October is Black History month, and we take the opportunity to acknowledging our inspirational Friends of Suntrap President, broadcaster and author David Lindo, aka the Urban Birder.

As David has explained ‘Nature is for everyone and it starts at all our doorsteps. We should all be encouraged to appreciate nature - especially those who live in urban areas. We can all help to engender change that leads to a greater appreciation and understanding of our world. Indeed, it is our responsibility to do so.’

To support schools with their outdoor learning skills we're producing films for the EYFS, KS1 and KS2 stages.

Each film will feature different outdoor activities and information on how to further develop these ideas.

The films will then be put up on the Waltham Forest education support website page, The Hub and also on the Suntrap Youtube channel.

No such thing as bad weather just the wrong clothing!

Recently the Suntrap team ran a free outdoor learning training session for staff at George Tomlinson Primary School in Leytonstone.

The hardy bunch braced the wet weather and feedback included: 'The children will love doing this' 'You've given us so many ideas we wouldn't have thought of. Thank you.'

Here's a sneak peak of the inside one of the classrooms in our main building.

There's still work to do, but the new windows look very impressive and will keep out the draughts. New lighting, cupboards and workbenches are all being currently installed.

Our newsletter has all the latest refurbishment news. 

Eco-Schools and Frugi clothing company have produced the Frugi Challenge, 10 days of eco-activities – differentiated for early years, primary and secondary schools. The challenges can be completed in school or at home. Also 150 schools applying for the first Eco-Schools Green flag are eligible for their accreditation fee to be paid. Funding applications close on Friday 18 December 2020 and schools must submit a successful first Green Flag application before Friday 26 February 2021. 

Did you know we have an instagram account - @suntrapforestcentre?

Recently we were pleased to welcome long time supporter of Suntrap, Sir David Attenborough to the Instagram community.  We look forward to sharing our nature photographs with him!   

In September 2020 the foundations for our new outdoor classroom have been completed.

Visitors will be able to use this outdoor covered space when using the back garden, including exploring the creatures they find in our raised pond.

Our newsletter has all the latest refurbishment news.

Refurbishment update. The new schools' entrance and corridor at the back of the building is taking shape.

Our new Ken Hoy Lodge in the wild meadow is starting to take shape!

Installation of toilets and showers - no more toilet tent at night!

The weather-proof Ken Hoy Lodge with sliding doors will be fit for up to 80 people to eat indoors or al fresco! 

We're called "Suntrap" as no matter time of day or year, our south facing building gets a lot of sun. To minimise our carbon footprint we've had installed two huge sets of photovoltaic (solar) panels. This renewable source means we can produce much of our own electricity.

There are many ways to teach children to take care of the natural world, and one simple yet powerful approach is through books.

We've put together our favourite inspirational children's books that offer meaningful messages about nature and the environment.

Happy reading!

Remember the Green Hut and animals cages?  These have been removed for much needed landscaping work. 

Our new terraces will make the whole site accessible for all our visitors plus we get so much more space to use!  

In August 2020 we supported Frederick Bremer community school in Walthamstow with their forest school outdoor learning.

They're running this during the holidays, exploring habitats and developing team work through den building.

Drainage in our camping field has been a challenge for our landscape architects. As a preventive measure the kidney shaped excavation gives a natural low point for water to collect during wetter weather.  In a few years we'll have a wet meadow rich in biodiversity and a much drier field!

Suntrap is part of the Waltham Forest Summer Holiday Activity programme.

This year we went virtual and ran lots of fun online indoor and outdoor nature activities for children and young people. 

Close up shot of one of the new cedar-clad camping pods. Currently twenty pods each sleeping four people are being built off site.

Soon to be moved to their new homes in our Wild Wood and Wildflower Meadow. 

Have you noticed more butterflies in your garden this spring?

Due to climate change butterflies are emerging earlier and in different parts of the UK.

You can take part in this citizen science project by Butterfly Conservation and spot butterflies in your garden and record them on an app. Sign up on their website.

During the summer to support families with children under five we're working in partnership with Chit-Chat Pitter-Pat a home learning project. Each week on Sharing Saturday on their Facebook page we'll be posting a one-minute nature activity video.  

Foundation for the camping Meadow Lodge is completed and steels have arrived for the walls. The windows in the main building have been replaced with draft free well fitted double glazed units. Not only will they help to keep the building warm but they look really smart!

Saturday 4th July is not only about lockdown restrictions being lifted but also National Meadows Day.  In 2017 Tesco Bags of Help scheme funded Friends of Suntrap a grant to develop our stunning Wildflower Meadow Walk. This haven has provided tranquility, peace and quiet and sense of mental well-being for us all.

Dave Goulson in his book 'The Garden Jungle' tells us that we can remove weeds from our garden by simply rebranding them as wildflowers. If you're taking part too, we would love to see pictures of the wildflowers now growing in your garden,

On Wednesday 22 April we celebrated Earth Day 2020.  The theme of climate action is very close to our hearts.  Education is essential for the global response needed to address climate change. Through education children and young people can understand the impact of global warming, with this knowledge they’re then able to make changes in their attitudes and behaviour.

On April 20th we joined the Waltham Forest Council's Virtual Culture programme, that build on the success of being the Mayor's first London Borough of Culture in 2019. 

We're excited to launch the At Home Safari Film Challenge deadline for entries Sunday 31 May 2020.

During the COVID-19 lockdown Suntrap is here to help. On our Suntrap at Home page you'll find a whole range of fun, educational projects you can do with your children safely indoors and outdoors at home. All with a focus on nature and the environment. 

New activities will be added regularly so keep visiting this page for ideas of how to Bring Nature Nearer.

Visit our Book club page to find our recommendations for books to inspire children and young people to a love of nature. During the COVID-19 lockdown take advantage of Amazon. They've cancelled the subscription of books and audio stories for children and students of all ages as long as schools are closed, kids everywhere can instantly stream an incredible collection for free! 

In March we're out and about round the forest; being 'Plant Explorers' with Greenleaf Primary School and 'Discovering Habitats' with George Mitchell and Edinburgh Primary Schools.

We're sharing our knowledge of 'Treemedous trees' with George Tomlinson Primary School and at Chapel End Infant School we're going deep into the 'Wild Wood'.

Love Your Pet Day is a great day to show your love for your pets. We provide opportunities for children to get up close to animals to learn more about looking after them and the importance to respect them. If you don't have any yourself, get involved by calling your local RSPCA or pet rescue centre and make a donation of food or treats or volunteer. 

At Suntrap we’ve always known that being outdoors can be good for your mental health, but that’s only one reason to visit our local green spaces. A study published in 'Environment International' shows that people who have access to nature or urban green spaces are much more likely to behave in environmentally friendly ways. The findings also identified that people who were not exposed to green spaces were less likely to adopt eco-friendly behaviours, such as recycling.

In February through Great Place: Connecting Communities the team continues to deliver free programmes with local schools including Roger Ascham primary school in Walthamstow and Yardley primary school in Chingford.

Bookings available for a range of outdoor learning experiences in school grounds or in local green spaces

 In January we attended an Essex Learning Outside the Classroom Providers group meeting at RHS Hyde Hall. On a beautifully clear, but cold evening, we explored the night sky using binoculars and telescope, learning to identify star constellations and naming some of the craters on the moon. The evening gave us lots of stargazing ideas for our residentials under the dark skies in winter. Warm clothes and binoculars are all you need!

The Suntrap team including some of our animals are visiting primary schools including Yardley and C of E in Chingford and Edinburgh in Walthamstow. We're also looking forward to working with students from Waltham Forest College. Bookings available for a range of outdoor learning experiences in school grounds or in local green spaces

We’re making good use of some of our fallen logs that by inserting ‘mushroom plugs’. These are small wooden dowels that have been inoculated with mycelium of edible fungi. To harvest will typically take  12 months so we’re looking forward to watching mushrooms emerge when we're reopened.

Helen Bigham urges children and young people get out and about for Outdoor Classroom Day on Thursday 7 November 2019.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is collating data on Outdoor Education visits to natural environment sites for their work on Natural Capital.  Recording this information is important for environmental decision making. 

Our commissioned illustrations produced by Emma Smith have been so popular we've joined with All Colours Only a specialist art print company to enable fans of Suntrap to buy prints in a variety of sizes.
