Field trips with the Bermuda National Trust

The Bermuda National Trust education team aims to promote and educate about
Bermuda’s cultural and natural history. We offer Stand-Alone Field Trips and Three-Part
Learning experiences linked to the national curriculum, adult learning experiences,
camps and teacher workshops.

Stand-alone Field Trips
The BNT education programme delivers engaging field trips to our historic sites and
nature reserves. Students encounter and explore original items in an authentic setting.
Culturally enriching field trips are offered at Waterville, Verdmont, the Globe Hotel and
Tucker House where the past comes alive and students gain greater historical empathy
and interest in Bermuda’s people, diversity and culture.

Our nature reserves such as Spittal Pond, Paget Marsh, Somerset Long Bay and Vesey
Nature Reserve provide the perfect settings for engaging and tangible science field trips.
Here students can explore and learn in unique informal settings with the aim of gaining
knowledge and appreciation of nature. All field trips include an element of environmental
advocacy and explain the value of open space and the need for its protection.

Three-Part Learning Experience

In addition to the Stand-Alone Field Trips we offer an introductory lessons, usually with a
powerpoint presentation and a follow-up activity for students in the classroom.
