Come and join other Forest School practitioners to share practice, chat over what’s going on in the world of Forest School, get up to date on latest developments and revisit and extend your own skills.
We’ll get a fire lit, a kettle over it, some light refreshments cooked over the fire and there will be a selection of tools and a nice woodland to hang out in. Jenny will fire up the pizza oven for us so bring your own toppings.
We will be exploring the potential to set up a network for practitioners in Cumbria.

We’ll get a fire lit, a kettle over it, some light refreshments cooked over the fire and there will be a selection of tools and a nice woodland to hang out in. We can make ‘stone soup’ and experiment with different bread recipes and methods of cooking on a fire. The Stone Soup story is an old one and will need everybody to bring something to add to the pot or feel free to bring your own food to cook on the fire.
It was decided at the last network meeting that all members are encouraged to bring something Forest School related along that they are working on at the moment. Offers so far include Bird song ID, coppicing some hazel on the site and sharing simple craft ideas and tool skills, and making brands (if you have any old bicycle spokes bring them along)
