Field Studies Council
Field Studies Council, FSC, is an environmental education charity providing informative and enjoyable opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to discover, explore, and understand the environment.
FSC is an independent charity receiving no core revenue funding from statutory sources and we therefore rely on fees paid by our visitors and on the generosity of donors, trust funds and grant bodies to finance our activities.
In 1943 FSC's founders gathered at the Natural History Museum in London to realise a vision 'to provide opportunities for school children to study living plants and animals in their natural environment'. From that initial meeting the Council for the Promotion of Field Studies (now Field Studies Council) was born.
Over 70 years later, the FSC believes the more we know about and take inspiration from the world around us the more we can appreciate its needs and protect its diversity and beauty for future generations.
