If the answer is yes, you’re not alone, nearly every Forest School practitioner I’ve ever spoken with has.
In my latest video I chat with Sian Lewis who is currently pursuing her master’s degree and has been looking at barriers to Forest School.
🌳 What We Discussed:
· Viewing the barriers through an ecological model
· How perceptions shape current thinking in education
· How Forest School can fit in with the current education paradigm
· Ideas for overcoming barriers to Forest School

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this topic! Feel free to leave a comment on the video or reply to this email with your reflections.
🌳 Exclusive Offer – Gain (FREE) Support for your Forest School
One of the barriers we discuss in the video is – the perceptions of other staff and colleagues in the school or workplace.
I want to help you to get the support and investment you need from managers & decision makers to ensure your Forest School programme runs successfully.
That’s why I’m offering out a recording of a past live webinar ‘Evaluate to Advocate – How to gain support for your Forest School programme through Action Research’ - https://youtu.be/Pp8eC8ymJN4
AND the accompanying googledrive of resources (including a workbook so you can follow along with the webinar) - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AJ5S-10OpmZWSuBqrkvCBAXJNOXUh_nC?usp=sharing
I hope it helps to spread the Forest School grooviness!
Thank you for being part of this community and for your continued support. As Margaret Mead apparently once said: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has."
Wishing you many Wild Adventures
