Field Studies Council is an environmental education charity. Founded in 1943, we are best known for providing residential and day field trips for those studying biology and geography. But our mission is to create outstanding opportunities for everyone to learn about nature.
FSC Slapton Ley Field Centre is located on the Start Bay coast. It’s surrounded by the 210-hectare Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve that includes the 4km long Slapton Sands beach and the largest freshwater lake in the Southwest.
The centre is located on the edge of SLapton village and is set within landscaped grounds with seating areas, shelters, kitchen garden and wildlife areas.
We have a wide range of volunteers who spend time with us: some are studying whilst ‘learning the ropes’ before starting work; others have retired and are giving back in an area they want to support; some are regular volunteers who come in and meet with others on a weekly or monthly basis; some pop in when they can; and some volunteer full time.
Volunteering is great for boosting your wellbeing and being outside has been proven to be good for both your mind and your body. It is a great way to connect with other likeminded people, and can benefit you in career advancement, but most importantly it is fun and fulfilling.
