Forest School Wales - Supporting Forest School provision across Wales

Kids surrounding treeForest School Wales works to ensure that throughout Wales there is sustainable Forest School provision supported by a national network that will nurture the development of projects, offer advice, provide resources, guide best practice and provide continuing professional development.

As a voice for Forest School in Wales we involve members in our regional networking events , meetings and online resources while keeping them up to date on current legislation and other events relevant to Forest School. We also help connect members to other organisations involved in Forest School related activities.

Join us at one of our events advertised below or explore this site to find our more about Forest School and provision in your region.

This website is currently undergoing a period of consultation prior to a full launch.  Please accept our apologies for any incomplete or temporary material.

Woodcraft Skills Training

Wednesday, 25 February 2009

Forest School Woodcraft Skills training is taking place… Don’t miss out!!

For Forest School practitioners, the training offers a perfect opportunity to extend your knowledge and understanding of woodcraft tool use within a Forest School context. It will also provide you with a transferable template of working which you can then apply to any further woodcraft training you might receive.

For teachers, the training offers an opportunity to learn a new skill that can be used to support children’s play and development in the outdoor environment. It supports the curriculum through thinking skills such as problem solving when using a woodcraft tool.

For those working in the Foundation Phase, it supports 6 of the 7 areas of development. A perfect activity to have outdoors!
