During this event, you will: • Enjoy Fire and Hot Drinks: Start the day around a fire with refreshments. • Take Part in a Fireside Discussion and Q&A: Learn about forest school principles, ask questions, and gain insights from experienced leaders. • Participate in Woodland Games: Experience how play-based learning fosters teamwork, creativity, and a deeper connection with nature. • Explore Implement Carving: Develop hands-on skills as you practice carving techniques under expert guidance. This taster day is designed to help you explore the fundamentals of Forest School, meet industry peers, and decide if our Forest School Leader Training Program is right for you.

Please arrive in plenty of time so that we can start the session promptly. Make sure to dress for the weather and wear stout footwear as our sessions are all outdoors and will continue even in inclement conditions. We will only cancel if strong winds make the woodland site unsafe.
