Church Farm Trails
Situated just north of Scunthorpe, this area of hillside grassland had open access to walkers and has good views looking towards the town over farmland, the River Trent, industry and villages. The hillside limestone grassland is part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme designed to increase the diversity of flora and fauna of the site. Hedges and field margins are being managed to provide food and shelter for lowland farm birds. Part of the site is designated S.A.M. following the discovery of Roman-British and Saxon settlement remains nearby. |
The Year of Food & Farming
September 2007 marks the start of ‘The Year of Food & Farming’ and as such, we at ‘Church Farm’ are keen to encourage opportunities for school and other groups to experience the countryside, allowing them to learn more about their local environment, where their food comes from and how it is produced. This ‘Educational Access’ is supported by the farm’ s participation in the Countryside Stewardship Scheme. |
FACE
In order that visiting groups gain the most from the time spent with us, we have undertaken accreditation training for the ‘Countryside Educational Visits Accreditation Scheme (CEVAS). This is administered by FACE (Farming and Countryside Education)’ |
| The positioning of the centre within the countryside environment of the farm, with its land and buildings, also provides excellent opportunities for educational activities, along with those of ‘team building’ and business hospitality events. |

North Lincs Equestrian
For the last three years, we have worked together with North Lincs Council to provide placements for schoolchildren, by way of the educational provision at our equestrian facility, ‘North Lincs Equestrian’.
 The individuals involved have benefited greatly from working and learning about horses. Along with improved academic achievement and higher self-confidence, a good percentage of each group have now progressed on to College.
