Forest School Day 2023

Forest School Day is on the 13th October. We're joining in the celebrations with our Forest School focus newsletter & practitioner giveaway.

Celebrating Forest School

Forest School Day is on the 13th October, a chance to connect, share and celebrate everything that is great and wonderful about Forest School. We're joining in the celebration too with our Forest School focus newsletter.

Forest School kit list - What are your must-haves?

If you're starting a new project or setting up a new site, it's so useful (and saves a lot of trail and error) to hear from experienced practitioners about what they couldn't do without when running their outdoor sessions.

We're making a new page in our Forest School section and we want your help:

  • what are your top 3 or top 10 bits of kit? why?
  • do you already have a kit list you'd be willing to share? We'll credit you and link to your project
  • any other links or photos of kit in action are welcome

(in this instance we're thinking about ropes or tarps or sticks etc, rather than items of clothing)

We'll share your lists and collate your responses into a big top ten recommended items.

Please send your kit list recommendations to share@muddyfaces.co.uk
