Schools

The Dean Heritage Centre (DHC) is committed to education for all and life-long learning. 

• Central to this is use of the collection as a learning resource; whether your visit is self-directed or part of a planned activity, the team will help you get the most from the collection. We have developed a range of learning opportunities for active engagement, understanding and enjoyment of the Forest of Dean's unique history. We are also ideally placed to explore the wider area where students can engage with nature and experience a range of activities in the woodlands that surround us.
