The Wildlife Trusts welcomes the Government's manifesto on learning outside the classroom and agrees whole-heartedly with its vision and the identified educational benefits (YPN, 29 November-5 December, p2).
Some schools are often strapped for cash and although there are lots of great opportunities, they need the budgets to be able to take part.
