Finlaystone attracts over 3,500 school and nursery children every year who visit for fun and education. Our Rangers work with teachers in arranging activities to promote an understanding and appreciation of our natural surroundings.
We can accommodate visits all year round but booking is essential to ensure we can provide appropriate ranger support.
Visits are Curriculum based and some of the topics currently on offer include:
