What We Learn
Every session is a living classroom. Here's a taste of the knowledge, skills, and wonder children take home from R3G3N EARTH.
Learning that sticks
When children learn outdoors, they remember it. R3G3N EARTH sessions are rooted in real science — ecology, botany, entomology, dendrology — but delivered through play, exploration, and hands-on discovery. No worksheets. No whiteboards. Just nature.
🦊Animals & Wildlife
From garden birds to pond creatures, children learn to identify, observe, and respect the animals that share our world.
Did you know?
- 🌿The UK is home to over 60,000 species of wildlife
- 🌿Hedgehogs can travel up to 2 miles in a single night
- 🌿A single oak tree can support over 500 species
- 🌿Swifts spend almost their entire lives in the air
Skills children develop
🌸Plants & Wildflowers
Children discover the incredible variety of plants around them — from common daisies to rare orchids — and learn why they matter.
Did you know?
- 🌿There are over 1,500 native wildflower species in the UK
- 🌿Wildflower meadows have declined by 97% since the 1930s
- 🌿Bees can visit up to 5,000 flowers in a single day

Skills children develop
🐛Minibeasts
The tiny world beneath our feet is teeming with life. Children use magnifying glasses and pooters to explore invertebrates up close.
Did you know?
- 🌿There are over 27,000 species of insect in the UK
- 🌿Earthworms can eat their own body weight in soil every day
- 🌿A bumblebee's wings beat 200 times per second
- 🌿Woodlice are more closely related to crabs than to insects
Skills children develop
🌳Trees & Woodland
Trees are the lungs of our planet. Children learn to read the woodland — identifying species, understanding ecology, and discovering forest stories.
Did you know?
- 🌿A mature oak can absorb 100 litres of water per day
- 🌿Trees communicate through underground fungal networks
- 🌿The UK has over 8 million hectares of woodland
- 🌿Some yew trees in the UK are over 5,000 years old
Skills children develop
🥕Growing Food
From seed to plate, children experience the full growing cycle — planting, tending, harvesting, and tasting real food they've grown themselves.
Did you know?
- 🌿It takes around 65 days to grow a carrot from seed
- 🌿Tomatoes are technically a fruit, not a vegetable
- 🌿Composting turns food scraps into rich soil in 3 months
- 🌿One sunflower head contains up to 2,000 seeds
Skills children develop
♻️Composting & Food Waste
Children learn where food comes from, what happens when it's wasted, and how composting turns scraps into something amazing for the soil.
Did you know?
- 🌿The UK throws away around 9.5 million tonnes of food every year
- 🌿Composting food scraps can cut household waste by up to 30%
- 🌿A compost heap can reach temperatures of 70°C inside
- 🌿Worms can eat half their body weight in organic matter every day
Skills children develop
🔥Wilderness Skills
Ancient outdoor skills build confidence, resilience, and teamwork. Children learn to read nature, build shelters, and thrive in the wild.
Did you know?
- 🌿Humans have used fire for over 1 million years
- 🌿Moss grows on the north side of trees in the UK
- 🌿You can tell the time using a stick and its shadow
- 🌿Nettles were used to make cloth in the Bronze Age
