Let’s Learn Moor
Uplands Education Sessions
Let’s Learn Moor is a collaborative educational project which is overseen by BASC and Countryside Learning and made possible by accessing BASC’s legacy fund.
Events are facilitated by the Regional Moorland Groups and private estates across northern England with the support of more than 50 other partners.
Children participate in a carousel of activities learning learn about farming and conservation in the uplands, the importance of peat, the work of the emergency services and other aspects of upland life and moorland management.
The activities are related to the protection of the upland landscape, wildlife and people. The activities will typically be;
Wildfire prevention and control
Food chains and predators and prey
The emergency services
Farming in the uplands
The protection of the landscape through designations such as National Parks
Different land use in the uplands - such as water catchment
“The children learned so much and could recall 57 facts they had aquired on the journey back to school.”
