Learning messages

We want everyone who learns in the Lake District to go home with some simple messages such as 'The Lake District is a National Park' and 'Everyone is welcome'. We've produced a simple leaflet for teachers and outdoor educators. Check out core messages, simple learning messages and how we work in Learning messages (PDF).
