Forest Schooling is a specialised learning approach, sitting within and complementing the wider context of outdoor education. Regular sessions help to aid holistic growth, supporting play, exploring as well as risk-taking. Forest Schooling uses the outdoors to develop confidence and self-esteem through learner inspired, hands-on experiences in a natural setting.
