UK Forest School is 25 years old this year and that is definitely something worth celebrating!
To mark the occasion, what better way than to establish an inclusive, annual Forest School Day, created by and for the Forest School community? The Forest School Day project has been created to encourage the Forest School Community to connect, share and celebrate this milestone together and of course to celebrate it in a Forest School values way!
