Outreach visits to SEN Schools can be arranged by contacting Sue on suec@marwell.org.uk or education@marwell.org.uk. Our outreach programme for other schools is currently under review.
An Education Officer from Marwell Wildlife can visit your school with a selection of custom’s goods. We offer a variety of 30-40 minute talks from P levels to level 5. For animal welfare reasons we do not use live animals in our outreach programme. Visits are usually limited to schools within Hampshire, although circumstances may sometimes enable us to visit schools in the bordering counties.
