At the Field Studies Council, our mission is to provide outstanding opportunities for everyone to learn about and connect with the natural world.
At the core is curriculum-based outdoor learning, delivered by our experienced tutor teams, bringing subjects to life. The experience also fosters reflection, builds resilience and strengthens relationships. We do this through our own network of residential and day centres in breathtaking landscapes.
We also collaborate with partner venues making the experiences accessible to as many people as possible. The Field Studies Council has an 80-year history as a leading provider of fieldwork and outdoor learning in the UK.

Statement from the Chief Executive
"Through Access Unlimited, the Field Studies Council inspires young people to be curious, knowledgeable, passionate and caring about the natural environment. We see their eyes widen and horizons expand.
"We are delighted to be able to offer day visits and residential experiences to young people most in need of the opportunities that many of us take for granted. We show them that nature can not only provide a lifetime of enjoyment and wellbeing but can also offer opportunities for future study and rewarding, fulfilling careers. We are pleased to play a part in their journey of discovery as part of Generation Green 2."
