Carymoor Environmental Trust

A Day at the Dump! This exciting tour around the landfill site at Carymoor enables children to see what happens to their household rubbish first hand. A site tour is a real eye-opener and explores the active landfill site, composting operations, leachate treatment, methane electricity generation and capped landfill now restored as a haven for wildlife. Messages from the tour are embedded during the afternoon with our interactive Waste Free Lunch floor game- which team will be first to empty their lunchbox by reducing, re-using or recycling their rubbish?

Slumming It! Global Citizens Day Visit Carymoor’s very own shanty town, a replica of Kroo Bay in Sierra Leone and experience everyday life there: from finding shelter to sourcing water and food and even making toys from rubbish! Fun, hands-on activities enable children to explore many thought provoking questions including: What are your basic needs?  What challenges do you face? How does your life compare to children living in a slum? 

Survival Day Could you survive the wilds of Carymoor? An action packed day of exciting bush craft experiences using resources collected on site. Activities could include shelter building, fire making, tracking and navigation skills. Don’t expect to come home clean!

A Passion for Plants! Carymoor is the perfect place to explore all things leafy! Tailored to the season we will be getting ‘Star-struck by seeds and fruits’ (Autumn), ‘Grabbed by germination and growth’ (Spring) or ‘Fired- up by flowers and pollination’ (Summer)!  Games, investigation, crafts and action to take back to school, using our beautiful wildflower collection and wider nature reserve.
