Pembrokeshire Outdoor Schools (PODS) has teamed up with partners across the county to help you make the most of Wales Outdoor Learning week from 19-26 April.

With videos, sessions and resources on a range of subjects from seeds to species identification to minibeasts, bees and trees, there will be plenty to help children engage with the outdoors.

Pembrokeshire Outdoor Schools Co-ordinator, Bryony Rees said: “Join us to get outside in nature, whether it be in your school grounds, gardens or local area, we will be helping you spend as much time as possible in the outdoors and exploring the first signs of spring.

“We challenge you to get outside and encourage families and schools to make outdoor learning a part of your daily routine.”

Resources will be provided by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, Pembrokeshire County Council, Darwin Centre, Tir Coed and Natural Resources Wales.

All resources that do not require booking will be posted on the Pembrokeshire Outdoor Schools Facebook (www.facebook.com/PembrokeshireOutdoorSchools) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/PembsOutdoorSch) channels. For more information email [email protected].
