My Outdoors Competition 2017 – Results!

Thank you to all the primary school children who took part in our painting competition this year.  We received lots of entries from a number of primary schools across Devon and we are very grateful to them for supporting us.  Our competition is a fun way to help children engage with and enjoy the countryside, landscape, nature and the environment, part of outdoor learning.
