"Thanks to Tina Hutchinson who drew out the blueprint of the Forest School Saw Box on the back of a napkin as we enjoyed lovely cake together at the national Forest School Association Conference. I was captured by the simple concept and Tina's stories of how useful it had been, making sawing on a log or the ground so accessible and controllable" - Liz
