Forest School Experience
Go wild and explore our woodlands in this Forest School taster session.
This exciting session gives learners the chance to experience Forest School and all that it has to offer. Forest School offers child-led, holistic learning experiences which help the development of the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Through hands-on experiences in our woodland setting, Forest School aims to nurture curiosity, creativity, and a profound respect for the environment, fostering a lifelong love for learning and a sustainable relationship with nature.
Learners will spend time exploring the woodland, including den building and woodland crafts. Our Forest School Experience session is a perfect way to introduce learners and teachers to the benefits of Forest School.
Kent Wildlife Trust have a dedicated Forest School woodland area at our Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve and can also offer Forest School at Tyland Barn in Maidstone. Tyland Barn is a smaller, more contained site and does not have true woodland, however we are still able to offer many of the same activities, including den building and fire lighting. Â
