In the academic year 2021/2, Wicor entered a unique and innovative partnership with the HIWWT and this continues to the present day. The partnership has enabled us to use the expertise of Trust staff and volunteers in helping to teach the children about natural history. The Trust focuses its time with different classes each year but assists more widely by creating teaching resources and holding Wicor-only open days on its reserves. In return, the school has chosen the Trust as its charity for fund-raising efforts.
Wicor Host's Gardening Training
In April 2024 and April 2023, Wicor hosted bookable training sessions for others working in a school setting. The day course taught skills and knowledge on simple garden techniques and understanding how wildlife gardening can be achieved in school. The training was provided by HIWWT.
