Information for Teachers, group Leaders and Parents
The Nidderdale AONB is a fantastic and inspiring place to
bring groups on educational visits. To help you
plan your trip we have developed an on-line education pack that is
easy to download.
The pack contains comprehensive background information, maps,
worksheets, identification keys, risk assessments, facilities at
the site and contact details for ten sites around the
AONB.
Unfortunately, we do not have an education service in
Nidderdale AONB to accompany groups on their
visits. However, at a number of the sites, the
landowners or site owners are willing to help guide groups or do a
talk.
We have split the education pack into sections. Download by
clicking on the pdf icons.
