Join Eddie & Ellie’s wild adventures!
Eddie & Ellie’s Wild Adventures is a cross-curriculum educational programme for lower key stage two pupils that is built around a children’s book. Born out of a genuine passion to equip local children with the knowledge and enjoyment of the nature and ecology around them.
It is a fundamental part of our social value approach, driving one of our four key goals – building future generations.
A lasting impact
We fund a programme of workshops, site visits and a school trip to a Wildlife Trust facility that follows a development’s journey from planning to site completion.
Carefully created in consultation with educational specialists, Wildlife Trusts, parents and their children, Eddie and Ellie is curated to leave a lasting impact long after our development has been completed.
