Forest School is an inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to 'achieve, develop confidence and self esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland environment'

Forest School started in Scandinavia in the 1950's. It started by teaching children about the natural world in a way that provides children with experiential learning experiences in their local woodland. These experiences help to develop communication, confidence and practical skills, as well as a greater understanding and connection with nature.

Forest School is based on the principles of having high adult:child ratios and regular visits to the woodland with qualified Forest School practitioners, who will plan activities based on the observed needs and interests of each individual child.
