"Attending Forest School has been an incredible opportunity that I am grateful for.  The engaging and hands-on learning experiences in nature have been truly transformative"

"Forest School kind of gets you to forget all those worries, which I think is really good and really powerful"

"I have found that my personal connection to nature keeps me happy"

"Being outside, using natural materials and connecting with our natural environment takes a holistic approach to the child and to an adult too; being outside has benefits for everybody"

"By being outside, it teaches you to appreciate the environment and makes you think about your own impact on it and what you can do to contribute towards the sustainable development goals"

"I started to do activities in nature with my son to help him build a nature connection"

"It made think about the environment a bit more and also reconnected me with nature when we did the activities"

"I go on more walks regularly and have more interest in the environment which I wouldn't normally do, for example look at different flowers, trees"

"I used to go outside and not look around but now I put my headphones down and appreciate my surroundings using my senses"

"Going outside made me appreciate outside more because it's good to get out of the house and get fresh air and doing a bit of gardening, it helps me clear my mind and not think too much"

"I think taking the time out gives you the opportunity to actually sit down and reflect on everything that's going on and think of different ways you might approach things"
