Field Studies Council is an educational charity based in the UK, which offers opportunities for people to learn about and engage with the outdoors.
History
It was established as the Council for the Promotion of Field Studies in 1943 to provide opportunities for school children to study plants and animals in their natural environment. It subsequently became a nationwide provider of outdoor education, and has established a network of field centres providing facilities for people wanting to study natural history, ecology and the environment.

The Field Studies Council creates a programme covering a wide variety of outdoor education, including fieldwork opportunities in geography and biology, providing fieldwork opportunities to allow students to investigative practical skills and to be given the chance to evaluate and analyse data they collect themselves, and data already held by the organisation.
The Field Studies Council also publishes fold-out charts and guides. BioLinks South East and BioLinks West Midlands are lottery funded schemes set up to strengthen UK biological recording.
With the goal of promoting and improving geography fieldwork, the Field Studies Council has entered into a partnership with The Geographical Association. Together, they work towards creating cases for geography and fieldwork within policy, and creating resources for education and career development.
Partnerships projects include:
Forgotten Places: Greening Coastal Towns and Cities
The Generation Green project Access Unlimited
Mission:Invertebrate
Our Bright Future
Nature Friendly Schools
Work to change policy within education to include environmental studies to school and college students
