Seashore Treasure Hunt
The AWT strongly believes in working with the public, from community groups to schools, and is always keen to involve people in its projects. Through our work we hope to be able to inspire and educate people about the natural environment and our fascinating island. Our educational work can be delivered all year round by our enthusiastic and dedicated Team.
Working in Schools
Our Team can come into schools to provide assemblies and lessons on a whole range of subjects from bats to woodlands. The Team also provides out of classroom educational activities, such as discovering the secrets of our seashore or planting trees for the Alderney Community Woodland. Children’s groups were heavily involved in the Alderney Community Woodland, with a schools competition being run to design the Children’s Area of Milly’s Wood.
Educational Visits
If you’re an educational group coming to Alderney then there are a range of different activities you can take part in, we can cater from school groups to University students. We can organise farm tours to bunker digs and practical conservation projects. Contact us to see what activities we can offer to your group.
Community Groups
Whether it’s a talk on some of our amazing wildlife or a trip out to discover a different side to Alderney, we can provide a range of different topics to help you discover more about Alderney and its wildlife, such as learning about the Alderney Grazing Herd or the Alderney Record Centre (ARC).
