How we work

Learning through Landscapes Cymru is the natural place to turn for support on any school grounds or early years outdoor related enquiry.

We exist to help you develop outdoor spaces that are well-used, enjoyed and valued by the whole school and wider community.

Learning through Landscapes focuses on giving children and young people a say in the way these spaces are used and improved. Our work allows children to create and nurture their own environment, helping their self-esteem to grow, along with their potential to learn and achieve.
