Learning through Landscapes

05/06/2026

LtL's Holly Willmott has been on the island of Benbecula in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, hearing about how the primary school has been planting trees to help shelter their very exposed playground from the Atlantic winds that are exacerbated by climate change 🌬🍃

Each tree is named for a child at the school, and the year 7s passed their trees on to the new year 1s 🥰

Teach climate change by letting your children help design and create mitigations and adaptations! Let them have agency in the solutions.

Over the last decade, we've awarded Local School Nature Grants to over 4500 settings, delivering 14,000 hours of training and providing £2.5 million worth of equipment to kickstart outdoor learning journeys across Great Britain. It's time to celebrate, and you're invited! 🥳

Thanks to the generous support of Postcode Lottery UK, we're hosting five fully-funded events throughout the summer, offering attendees the chance to participate in quality CPD training and network with other educators passionate about outdoor learning and play. We'll also provide lunch and take-home resources — and hopefully renewed confidence in the outdoor classroom, too!

Whether you've received a grant or not, we'd love you to join us. Visit our website to find out more about the events, including dates and locations, eligibility, and how to apply for a ticket!

The LtL team is spending with the teachers and pupils of Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Ynyswen today! 🥳

This marks the first of our special events to celebrate ten years of our Local School Nature Grants, helping schools to take learning and play outdoors with the support of Postcode Lottery UK. It's misty and moist, but the children are brightening our day with some colourful leaf painting in the school grounds!

As proud guardians of Outdoor Classroom Day, it's a joy to spend the campaign day seeing the benefits of outdoor learning and play firsthand 💚 We can't wait to see what the rest of the day brings!
