Hello! Welcome to A Breath of Fresh Air. Here we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to benefit from nurture in nature. Based in beautiful North Devon, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we have lots of wild spaces to explore from woods and moors, to beaches.
Through a collection of companies we provide a range of outdoor experiences and training, fostering a connection to nature through programmes including Forest School, Curriculum-based Outdoor Learning, Play based Learning and Coastal School. We deliver to schools and groups, communities, public events and activities and more! We love to learn, discover and explore through child centred, holistic, play based pedagogy.
