New Forest study centre treehouse
total project costs £33,200
fund grant £22,000 (73 % of total)
This project was to replace the old New Forest Study Centre buildings at the Countryside Education Trust, Beaulieu with an innovative , sustainable and unique treehouse.
The Sustainable Development Fund contributed funds towards the installation of a biomass heating system (the fuel for which is obtained by the sustainable management of on-site woodlands) and rainwater harvesting system. Theses systems have been incorporated into the learning experience of children who visit the centre.
The treehouse was officially opened by Alan Titchmarsh in 2008.
