Educational facilities

The reserve offers an exceptional environmental education programme and welcomes more than 100 school visits each year. School groups will be able to explore the natural world for themselves by studying at first hand the birds, animals and plants on the nature reserve. Pupils will explore the sensory wildlife garden and dipping pond as well as other areas of the reserve. The visits are led by Starling Learning, on behalf of the RSPB. Please click the school visits to Lochwinnoch link for further information.
