School field work at Wytham Woods

In August and September 2020 we held information sessions for local teachers to discuss how they could use the Woods for field work and other activities to support the school curriculum and student wellbeing. As a result, over the autumn term, three schools have brought groups to undertake A-Level Geography Non Examined Assessment field work.

They were all measuring trees, for projects on the carbon cycle and carbon sequestration. It is great to see how students are practically engaged with carbon and climate issues. Other schools are booked into to do some biology field work and one group is going to do a 5K run round the woods!
