What Learners Say...

I have worked with university students and trainee teachers outside and involving them with Forest School type activities.  This is what some of them had to say about the impact such sessions had on them: 

"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"


"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"


"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"
