• Environmental Education Centres 2010/11 Brochure Word Version 

The aim of Kent's Environmental Education Centres is to support teachers in delivery of the National Curriculum, particularly science, geography, history, art and ICT through providing an enriched practical experience of a range of environments.

Although the level and scale of resources available differs between Centres, all provide an enhanced learning experience for visiting pupils.

Canterbury EEC's woodland, grassland, lakes and reed beds are complemented by its close proximity to the River Great Stour and its extensive ICT provision.

Horton Kirby EEC makes full use of its village including the nearby River Darent, together with its invaluable wildlife garden with its range of mini-habitats.

Lullingstone Park Visitor Centre provides a fascinating introduction to the delights of the 460 acres of parkland within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

Shorne Woods Country Park is over 280 acres of woodland, grassland and freshwater and with an exciting new eco-friendly visitors centre is an ideal venue for your environmental themed school visit.

A day’s visit to all the Environmental Education Centres is a rewarding and challenging experience for pupils of all key stages.
