RSPB Old Moor


Main Contact: Kevin Moore
Description of work:

The RSPB’s Living Classrooms field teaching scheme at RSPB Old Moor offers exciting, practical outdoor education programmes to schools.  Students explore nature through first-hand study of birds, habitats, food chains, adaptations, plants, invertebrates and other wildlife. Activities are risk-assessed and are linked to the National Curriculum for science and geography.

Facilities include: a superb classroom, dedicated education areas, bird feeding garden, playground, hides, shop, café, large car park, toilets, disability access and toilets.


Whats Special ?: RSPB Old Moor is a haven for nature in the heart of South Yorkshire’s Dearne Valley – an area of diverse habitat including: wetland, woodland, and grassland teeming with birds, wildflowers, insects and other wildlife!  The reserve is reclaimed from what was an industrial site linked to the coal-mining industry. Old Moor’s experienced field teachers can help students of all ages to explore the natural and industrial heritage of the reserve.
