Students from our school enjoyed an exciting hands-on geography fieldwork experience at Sherwood Forest, exploring the theme of human impact on the environment.

As part of the trip, pupils spoke with members of the public to gather survey responses, carried out litter counts across different areas, and measured noise pollution using decibel counters. They also assessed the condition of footpaths to understand how visitor use affects the natural landscape.

The day provided a valuable opportunity for students to apply their classroom learning in a real-world setting, helping them to see first-hand the balance between protecting nature and enabling people to enjoy it.
