Our mission: education
Education is at the heart of everything we do. We offer learning opportunities from preschool to degree level and beyond to connect people of all ages with the natural world, better understand their place within it and play their part in shaping the future.
Alongside an established school programme, our apprenticeships and degrees provide a sound grounding for the future crew of planet Earth, creative leadership experiences enable organisations and individuals to inspire and facilitate change, and community training programmes enable those who want to roll up their sleeves to make a difference where they live.

“ We wanted Eden to be the best classroom in the world... a place where you'd learn effortlessly because you didn’t even think it was a classroom. ”
