Environmental Studies

Gaveston Hall has it's own Nature Trail through the woods, meadows, lakes and streams.

It is an ideal environment to study the creatures of the wild, with deer, foxes, herons, wild birds, rabbits, squirrels, hedgehogs, bats, snakes, toads and frogs all making their homes here.

There is also a large badger sett and the opportunity to study these rare, timid creatures.

Gaveston is ideal for courses in ecology, geography, orienteering and river studies, with its meandering stream and oxbow lake.

Wildlife around Gaveston Hall

Pond Dipping will reveal the creatures of the water and the popular Shelter Building in the woods will encourage the children to work as a team. Go tracking, or take a night walk. A Work Pack and Nature Trail are supplied to each school.
