Environmental education centre

Our Rutland Education Centre is based at the Anglian Water Birdwatching Centre in the village of Egleton at the western end of Rutland Water.

Through active learning and practical investigation students are encouraged to:

• respect the environment 
• become involved in natural history 
• and understand why maintenance of the natural world is important to us humans. 

We also provide hands-on experience of:

• observing animals and plants in their own particular habitat, 
• how they are adapted to their environment and learn about food webs. 

Activities include birdwatching, pond-dipping and water cleaning. 

All of our education programmes are delivered free of charge for visiting schools, colleges and universities.

 
All sessions are fully risk assessed and regularly reviewed to ensure they maintain excellent standards in safety and content.
