Environmental Education & Training

Environmental Education & Training

Fountainhill values the constitutional protection of the environment highly. As such we feel a moral obligation to promote and expose scholars, from a variety of backgrounds, to the environment, its benefits and the inherent risks of not conserving it adequately.

To this end we have engaged in partnerships with various bodies to facilitate this objective. Scholars are exposed to short trails in the conservation area, then sent home to establish environmental projects. The best and most enthusiastic youngsters are invited back for a more in-depth exposure to nature. Again the best candidates are selected and nominated for more formalised environmental and conservation training, with partner organisations, such as WESSA, in order to develop environmental champions who will become future custodians of our precious resources.
