My Outdoors Competition 2017 – Results!

Thank you to all the primary school children who took part in our painting competition this year.  We received lots of entries from a number of primary schools across Devon and we are very grateful to them for supporting us.  Our competition is a fun way to help children engage with and enjoy the countryside, landscape, nature and the environment, part of outdoor learning. Judging was very difficult, but we are now pleased to announce the winners – congratulations to them all!
