A message to everyone we support

We wanted to let you know that we're working hard to provide educational activities for teachers across Scotland at this time. Although we are still unable to deliver our face-to- face activities, our amazing RHET Team and army of volunteers are pulling together a variety of digital and hands-on resources to keep the food and farming learning going as strong as ever. We look forward to hosting farm visits and event really soon, we are all really missing seeing young people out in the working countryside, their visits play an important role in many of our farm volunteers lives.
