Educational Projects

All weather, all season child-led outdoor learning

Unlike traditional classroom teaching methods Forest School practitioners lead sessions in a completely different manner, avoiding the role of ‘teacher’ and instead take up the role of ‘leader/ facilitator’. Our Forest School leaders are in place to promote learning and development within the Forest School environment. Our projects run throughout the year and are custom to the school, community or individuals we work with.

Workshops

Throughout the year we run additional workshops. These workshops vary between ‘Cooking in the Forest’, ‘Tool usage’, ‘Adult friendly workshops’ and special guest workshops. Information regarding these workshops can be found on our social media or via our ‘upcoming tab’.

All of our sessions are child-led and thus we never have set activities. The children completely control their time in the Forest.
