Group Visits & Warden Service
Warden Service: (01942) 832895
The Wardens team at Haigh provides an
education and interpretation facility for the public and organised groups.
On offer are a wide variety of events and activities to introduce people
to the woodlands and history of Haigh Country Park, which can be
pre-booked in advance of your visit. Whether the trip is educational or just
for fun, the Wardens can make your day a success. By working closely with
schools, the Wardens can provide group teaching on environment issues as
part of the National Curriculum. The Wardens can take school groups on
guided walks through the forest where pupils are encouraged to use their
senses to make their own discoveries. Themed walks to fit in with
schoolwork or a particular area of interest include:
- History Tour - A tour of the Hall and
other points of historical interest can be made by special arrangement
- Nature and the Seasons - Life cycles,
species interdependence, food cycles and earth walks
- Mini-Beasts - The fascinating world of
mini-beasts. Nature viewers and magnifiers provided
- Pond Life - A close look at the
creatures that live in water with equipment provided. There are many
areas of study available to Secondary Schools and Colleges. Subjects
like Biology, Geology, Geography and History can come to life at Haigh.
Students in further or higher education
may find Haigh useful for project work, research or site visits. We may be
able to help students identify areas for study in subjects such as Leisure
and Environmental Studies.
