We love outdoor learning because: 💚 Learners are more engaged 🥾 Learners are more active 🌱 Learners are more connected with nature What about you? Thanks @NottmCollege geographers starring & @forestryenglanddalby for the location. Have a happy #globaloutdoorlearningday !
Sharing a spot on the Swale on the Summer Solstice. With… Willow warbler, chaffinch, yellowhammer, blackbird, robin, jackdaw, sand martin, mayfly (imago), fish (topping).
Twenty-four miles of the Tabular Hills Walk complete, twenty-four more to go! Would you like to join us to walk the Tabular Hills, the Yorkshire Wolds Way or the Minster Way in 2025? cranedale.com/walking-holida… #walking #rambling #yorkshire
It's day 1 of Walking Week here at Cranedale. Sunshine and smiles in Scarborough at the start of the Tabular Hills long distance trail. #nationalwalkingmonth @LDWA1 @RamblersGB #walking #rambling #yorkshire #getoutside

A big shout out to Jill, Anousa, Huw and Matt our “Fab Four” @CranedaleCentre tutors who will be exhibiting at the #GAConf24 tomorrow! 🌎 I hope everyone attending has an amazing time, I did the last time I was there… 2019 seems so long ago! I ❤️ Geography @The_GA #fieldwork
Just returning from an amazing all expenses paid 3 day residential at the @CranedaleCentre. Won this competition at @The_GA conference 2023 and now have 20 very happy (and tired) students with me. High quality tutors, activities and facilities. We will be going back! 🙂🌍🌳🌊
I spoke about the need to understand the Sycamore Gap tree’s slaughter in context of the wider “hostile environment” towards the natural world in the UK. And also about how the best way to mourn the loss of this tree is to grow a forest. theguardian.com/environment/20…
I cannot fathom why anyone would want to fell #SycamoreGap There is no justification. My brain cannot compute it.. What on Earth will be left for the next generation if folk in society act in this way?
My first Merveilles of the autumn on Sat night - just LOVE this beautiful species and no two are alike, like Zebra, markings subtly different! @DoubleKidney @RannochSprawler @V_R_BirdSpot @BC_Yorkshire @hubiegallagher
Today @LeesonHouse travelled to the @CranedaleCentre for a tutor skills share week. Thank you 🙏 to both tutor teams for giving up their time to participate and enhance their own skills as #outdoorEd practitioners. From Langton Matravers to Kirby Grindalythe! 🗺 ✏️ 🥾 🌳
The first leg of our 6 day @YorksWoldsWay holiday began today. We @CranedaleCentre are walking it again over 7 days in August. Details can be found here 🥾 ⤵️ cranedale.com/walking-holida…

A short thread on hawthorn blossom, why we only perceive a small part of the true beauty of the flowering world, and how looking at flowers helps us to understand the minds of insects. (1/10)
Chocolate-tip is undergoing a major range expansion in Yorkshire this year to the north and north-west, with several records over 20K from last year's limit. Here is one we caught at Brafferton.
Thank you Y6! We have been impressed with your scientific observations, your brilliant questions and your positive attitudes. Have a safe trip!

Good to see some #NoMowMay on a street in Ripon today #biodiversity #pollinator friendly
I’m drawn to the pond after a rain shower. The water clears and becomes the perfect natural mirror to the trees above.
