Welcome!
My forest school promotes self-lead learning and discovery, focusing on woodland crafts, safe tool use, local knowledge and tradition, foraging, cooking and healthy eating. I seek to foster a community of outdoor loving adventurous explorers who respect and love the natural world they inhabit. Forest School Ethos Forest School is an innovative and educational approach to outdoor learning and play. It uses the outdoor environment to access new learning opportunities, using child-lead play and self-discovery to promote personal, social and emotional development. Forest School takes place in a natural or woodland environment, in the form of frequent and regular sessions over a long period of time, run by a qualified practitioner. |
