What you can do with the books and equipment at the end of the course:
We are aware that books and equipment can become heavy, and when flying, they may use up valuable weight. We therefore offer the following option for students who do not wish to keep their books after the course.
Option 1: Pay it Forward
You donate the books and or equipment to us, leave all of your contact details and we in turn donate these to a worthy recipient- for example a student who is on a bursary and not able to afford the books, or a person or group of people working on a reserve in a rural area near to where we attend field trips and learning about nature. If you so wish, you may nominate who the recipient/s should be.
Option 2: Sell it
You sell the books or equipment to us. We would look at the condition of each and make an offer on each item, based on the condition of each make a fair offer.
Option 3: Donate it
You may choose to donate the books or equipment to us to include in our library or as our resources to loan to our students who may not be able to afford books and equipment when attending a course.
