From practitioners, for practitioners 🌿
The Clearing
Forest school ideas from the leaders who run them, free to take — each one ready to plan straight into a session, kit list and risk-benefit starting point included. Take what you need, leave one behind.
Fire · Bonfire Night
Charcoal from the fire: woodland drawingMake your own charcoal in a biscuit tin on the embers, then draw with it — fire, chemistry and art in one session. A natural Bonfire Night pairing.
Craft · Halloween
Woodland wands and potionsHalloween the forest-school way: whittle-free wand decorating, then a potion station of mud, petals and 'eye of newt' (acorns) with incantations mandatory.
Nature · Autumn
Leaf mandalasBig collaborative land art from autumn's free art supplies — sort by colour, build outward from the centre, photograph from above before the wind takes it back.
