Forest Schools in Crawley, Horsham and the Weald Forest Ridge
Following a successful bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund through the Weald Forest Ridge Partnership scheme.
Forest Schools and Bushcraft Events coming to a wood near you!
A Forest School programme is a FUN way to introduce children to the natural world. They will become confident in visiting and working in woodland, develop practical skills and enjoy natural play, whilst following National Curriculum guidelines.
We are currently looking for schools to take part and are also able to offer subsidised training in Forest School skills, so that teachers and others are able to work independently.
