An Introduction To The Forest School Approach

The Forest School Approach is an inspirational process that offers young children regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a woodland environment. In recent years, this approach has been praised for its therapeutic qualities as well as enabling a child to develop a natural curiosity for the world around them.
