Since taking on ownership in 2011, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust has restored an old barn into an excellent education facility, developed a thriving community vegetable garden, planted an orchard, established & introduced beehives and provided environmental education to young people.

The Stirley Education Team host regular school visits throughout the year helping young people discover how plants grow, learning core topics of sustainability, healthy eating and a sense of wonder for nature. To continue and expand our education work at Stirley we need more volunteers to assist with both the delivery of, and preparation for, these education sessions. In the future we hope to expand our family and adult events so that groups can explore the site during school holidays and at weekends. A strong team of education volunteers will enable small events and activities to be held throughout these busy periods. Regular seasonal events- Christmas, Halloween, half term family activities.
