Countryside Education Trust

The Countryside Education Trust is a registered charity established in 1975 devoted to countryside education in all its varied forms. The CET's overall aim is to promote and operate courses, activities and facilities which enable children and adults to learn about, understand and care for the countryside drawing on the diverse resources of the New Forest and the Beaulieu Estate. Over the years the Trust has grown in stature and scope to become an organisation running a residential centre, a field studies centre, a farm and a community programme.

If you cannot see exactly what you are seeking on this website, please contact us.

We will be delighted to welcome you!
