The Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) works principally with farmers to enable Scotland’s young people to learn about food, farming and the countryside through customised resources and a flexible programme of experiential learning activities. We also work with other partners to deliver world class learning opportunities for all of Scotland’s young people aged 3 to 18 about, in and through the Scottish agricultural environment. These learning opportunities focus on farming and food production, outdoor learning for all, countryside (including forestry and estate management and environmental awareness). It is RHET’s policy to appoint the most suitable volunteers and to provide equality of opportunity at all times. We do not discriminate against people because of their age, sex, marital status, ethnic origin, nationality, sexual orientation, trans-status, political beliefs, adaptable needs or religion.
