A teacher/ forest school leader/ mum trying to get children and families outdoors more. I'm a huge believer of self led exploration and play. Check out our posts to see what we get up to. We have Family Forest Play sessions, school sessions, 2 hour club sessions and 5 hour holiday clubs too. I am a trainee Outdoor Mental Health Practitioner and hope to deliver outdoor therapeutic sessions for all ages, in the future.

Some people ask... "How do you cater to the mixed age groups?" Well... I don't. They cater to themselves... our older children have opportunities to lead and be good role models. They have the opportunity to empathise and care for others intrinsically. Our younger ones have others to be inspired by, learn from and connect with. Especially for those who don't have siblings. Skills can always be catered to but this is not by age, rather experience. We are each on our unique journey but we do this in community.

Thinking of a cool place to have yours or your child's birthday party? 🥳🥳🥳 We can host any age, adapting the nature of the party to suit the birthday person. E.g teenagers may want lower amount of children but have tool use included. Or adults may want campfire cooking included. Please feel free to enquire. We love your ideas.

Children from RL Hughes primary discovered the pithy centre from the Elder branches. It was sooo satisfying to slide the sponge like centre from the bark. P.S All branches were found on the floor so no trees were harmed 🙂
