Bromley Field Studies Centre was opened in 1988 by David Bellamy as a centre for Environmental Education allowing school pupils and teachers access to facilities and expertise in the environmental fields. To date this work continues but has grown to include vocational training in environmental conservation allowing unemployed individuals to access employment through practical training, work experience and careers development. The centre focuses on developing individuals' social skills, basic skills, environmental awareness and knowledge.
