Carymoor in the news

Welcome to Carymoor

We are an environmental education and nature conservation charity based in east Somerset. The extensive habitats we've created and our location, adjacent to a working landfill site, provide a unique set of opportunities for life-changing educational experiences.

Explore the different areas of our website. Find out about Carymoor’s education programme based here at our inspiring education centre as well as our award-winning outreach team. You don’t need to bring a school group to visit us though. Adult and community groups are welcome to book a trip and we hold regular open days and events. Or why not join our growing team of volunteers?

All the wildlife photos you see on this website have been taken at Carymoor by our very patient Reserve Officer Jules Cross. They illustrate brilliantly the success of the habitat creation and land restoration work we’ve carried out on the 100 acres of capped landfill that we manage.

Wild Days Out are about to get wilder! We’ve expanded the programme for these popular days for schools to include more activities and greater curriculum coverage and can now cater for children from pre-school through to the end of Key stage 2. And we’re really excited about the very large tipi that we’ve just ordered so that you’ll soon be able to experience the wonders of our site from a truly wild outdoor classroom.

New Education Pages

Our new education pages are now up and running so click here to find out what's on offer! We work with students of all ages to deliver inspirational outdoor learning day visits and outreach education. This year we are offering a range of new Environmental Action Days at Carymoor for KS2 plus a host of exciting new outreach education across the Key Stages, and many tried and tested favourites from the Somerset Waste Action Programme (SWAP).
