School visits to Arger Fen & Spouse's Vale Nature Reserve

The unique habitats of Arger Fen & Spouse's Vale create a rich environment for wildlife - and for students to study and explore nature.


Arger Fen & Spouse’s Vale is a fascinating mosaic of ancient and naturally regenerating woodland alongside wet meadows and rough grassland.

Your students' day on the reserve will reflect the landscape, habitats and history of Arger Fen & Spouse’s Vale. We'll work with you to design a bespoke school visit that meets the needs of your pupils, with plenty of outdoor learning, nature science, and opportunity for exploration.
