Information and resources

Forest School is an educational approach that focuses on outdoor learning and nature-based activities. It typically takes place in natural settings like forests or woodlands, where students, often children, engage in hands-on experiences, play and exploration. 

The aim is to foster holistic development, environmental awareness, and a connection to nature. Forest School often involves activities like building shelters, learning about wildlife, and developing outdoor skills in a learner-led, experimental way. 

It’s a valuable approach for promoting both personal and environmental well-being. Forestry England have lots of information about how you can get involved and a location finder to find a Forest Schools session near you: Forestry England Learning.
