Rainton Meadows Nature Reserve and Joe’s Pond near Houghton-le-Spring has shown itself to be at the top of the class for educational visits by being awarded a Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge.
The Quality Badge scheme combines for the first time learning and safety into one easily recognisable badge for all organisations providing learning outside the classroom experiences.
Durham Wildlife Trust Director Jim Cokill said: “Being awarded the Quality Badge is a real coup for all the staff here as it shows that we offer young people the type of high quality learning experiences they really benefit from.
“We’re thrilled to get official recognition for our efforts and we look forward to welcoming even more children and young people from the local area to our nature reserve.”
Durham Wildlife Trust’s purpose is to protect wildlife and promote nature conservation in County Durham, the City of Sunderland and the Boroughs of Gateshead, South Tyneside and Darlington.
