T.A.C.T and Education

T.A.C.T, along with many other conservation bodies in the U.K and Ireland believes that it is vital that the next generation is taught the principles of sustainable living and development. Therefore one of the main aims of the T.A.C.T Wildlife Centre is to provide educational services to schools and individuals in order to help them learn about wildlife and the environment.
