WHAT DO WE LEARN ABOUT AT FOREST SCHOOL?
We learn about safety and self-sufficiency in the wilderness!
We use fun and games to foster connection and natural learning.
Every season brings new lessons on Medicinal, Edible & Poisonous plants, as well as wildlife precautions and identification.
We’ll get to know the local birds & animals, what sounds they make, the tracks they leave and how we can care for them and our forest.
We include useful life skills and traditional arts and crafts.
In a new garden students will learn to develop food growing from scratch using hugelkulture & permaculture.
