Field Studies Council is an environmental education charity. Founded in 1943, we are best known for providing residential and day field trips for those studying biology and geography. But our mission is to create outstanding opportunities for everyone to learn about nature. We do this through:Fieldwork and outdoor learning courses for schools, colleges and universitiesA network of UK residential and day centres, and a range of places in which to learn.Natural history and leisure courses. For beginners, enthusiasts, students, or professionals, we offer both in-person and online natural history courses including those specially designed for young people keen to deepen their knowledge and hone their skills. We have arts, crafts and family holidays inspired by nature too.Our Young Darwin Scholarship and opportunities to volunteer and gain work experience.Preston Montford Field Centre This delightful Queen Anne country house by the river Severn to the west of Shrewsbury is set in 12 hectares of grassland and woodland. It lies within easy reach of the north Shropshire meres and mosses, and the Welsh and Shropshire Hills with some of the most varied geology in Britain and a wide range of plants and animals. Outdoor Classroom Habitats range from woodlands, heather moorlands and grasslands to nutrient rich meres, upland and ponds and canals. For the geographer, glacial, periglacial and fluvial landforms complement the unique solid geology of the area. Historic settlements such as Shrewsbury and Ludlow, and the new town of Telford are ideal for urban and settlement pattern studies. Ironbridge, ‘Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution’, is a short distance away. https://www.facebook.com/FieldStudiesC/ Field Studies Council – Families https://www.field-studies-council.org/courses-and-experiences/families/ Experiences for Young People https://www.field-studies-council.org/courses-and-experiences/experiences-for-young-people/ Young Darwin Scholarship https://www.field-studies-council.org/courses-and-experiences/experiences-for-young-people/young-darwin-scholarship/ Field Studies Council YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/FieldStudiesCouncil Varies according to activity – please see website for full details.
