THEME: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOREST SCHOOL PROVISION AND CLIMATE CHANGE

Come and try out the Resources which FSW is developing including links to daily activities, ideas for special projects, tailor-made games and an “auditing tool” to minimise the carbon footprint of your own Forest School activities.

Information and Displays:
Composting and toilets at Forest School ~ information and examples for you to try
Minising the impact of Forest School fires ~ wood as fuel
Forestry Stewardship Council ~ labelling scheme, resources and a game

Games:
Trees as climate champions, Moving carbon (FSC), Carbon relays

Drop in and skillshare activities ~ so far we have:
Grow your own trees from seeds
Tin Can charcoal making
Make your own Stick stove and Solar oven
Wildfoods ~ the ultimate local!
Practise low-fuel cooking techniques
Simple woodcraft projects using coppice and other sustainable materials ~ including recap of last year’s brilliant Woodcraft skills training project
Make Your own Natural string

Anyone want to do something on natural dyes? or Water wheels (seems a shame not to make use of the river..)

Comment on these activities, help to develop them, share your own ideas

Social on Saturday evening ~ share a local, organic and fairtrade meal, and bring a bottle, instrument, song or game for afterwards.  There will be lots of (fairtrade) refreshments for those who want to chill out and chat.  Children are welcome ~ please let us know so we can plan ahead.

Opportunities to chat to other practitioners from across Wales ~ whether you are having trouble completing your Level 3 folders, settnig up your own Forest School, or other queries.
