Introduction
Naturezones is unique and the only one of its kind on the Isle of Wight. It is
a living natural history museum. Its main aim it to explain through education
why it is so important to look after, protect and enhance the habitats of
wildlife. Our education programmes are for all — a wide variety of people and
communities including school children, home educated children, college students
and adult learners. We also support people with learning difficulties and mental
health issues with the aim of restoring their confidence, health and wellbeing.
We very much welcome and appreciate volunteers that can help us manage the
nature reserve to further our aims and objectives.
