Welcome to Learning through Landscapes, a leading UK charity dedicated to making lives better through connection with nature.
We help children and young people to connect with nature, become more active, learn outdoors and have fun.
Our transformation of school grounds and teacher training, alongside an unrivalled knowledge and expertise gained through practical action and research, has led to our reputation as the UK’s leading school grounds educational charity.
While still predominantly working in the education sector, our expertise has now been successfully applied to a number of different fields including: dementia care; working with young homeless people; and species conservation.
