Bugs, Bones & Botany CIC – Nature, Science & Curious Minds

Bugs, Bones & Botany CIC specialises in delivering hands-on science, anatomy, archaeology and nature-based workshops that make learning memorable, engaging and accessible.

Led by a qualified osteologist, forensic researcher, former frontline ambulance worker and forest school leader, our sessions combine real scientific knowledge with practical activities, specimens, models and outdoor exploration. Drawing on experience in forensic research, human osteology, archaeology, emergency services and outdoor education, we bring science to life through engaging, hands-on learning.

Popular topics include human and animal anatomy, facial reconstruction, osteology, archaeology, ecology, fossils, forensic science, natural history, investigation techniques and the science behind how professionals understand both people and the world around us.

We work with schools, home education groups, community organisations and adult learners, tailoring sessions to suit different ages and interests. Whether it's a classroom workshop, a woodland 'forest school' adventure or an evening event for adults, our aim is always the same: to inspire curiosity and help people see the world through a scientific lens.

Alongside our workshops, we run regular, child-led forest school sessions where children can explore nature through bushcraft, ecology, wildlife discovery and hands-on investigation. These sessions combine the freedom and creativity of forest school with opportunities to develop scientific thinking, problem-solving skills and confidence in the outdoors.

From bugs and bones to microscopes and campfires, we believe learning should be practical, fascinating and fun... and full of science!
