Bell Heath is an approved provider of the John Muir Award. This award is a
national environmental Award scheme focussed on wild places. We would run
courses for the Discovery Award level. Further details can be found on the
official website. Click on the award logo above to link to visit the
website. We have been successful in our application for the Peoples Places Award Scheme. Some the projects are listed below. To find out more about the scheme click on the BTCV logo below.
1. We have built a sensory garden. The photos below give various views of the work.
2. The ponds are up and running again. Schools have caught many of the pond animals that were prolific before the flooding that devastated the areas in 2000.
BTCV have carried out some of the work with funding from People's Places lottery funding. Funding is also hoped to ensure further planting in other areas. |

3. Over 1500 trees with paths have been planted in the fields at the back of
the centre. Wooden lodges will be hidden within these woods and used as story
telling shacks. Each lodge will be decorated in the style of famous Fairy
Tales such as Goldilocks or Snow White. This has been funded through Lottery funding.
