🌿 June is Great Outdoors Month, and it's the perfect time to get outside, explore nature and discover the amazing countryside on our doorstep.

At RHET, we believe some of the best learning happens outdoors. Through farm visits, countryside activities and hands-on experiences, we help children and young people connect with the natural world while learning about food, farming and the environment.

Whether it’s exploring a farm, spotting wildlife or simply enjoying time in nature, every outdoor experience can inspire curiosity and a greater appreciation for Scotland’s rural landscapes.

💚 It's Healthy Eating Week!

Healthy Eating Week is a great opportunity to celebrate the importance of balanced diets, nutritious food choices and understanding where our food comes from.

At RHET, we help children and young people learn more about farming, food production and the journey from field to fork through engaging, hands-on experiences. By connecting young people with the people and places behind their food, we can help inspire healthier, more informed choices for the future.
