We are a Community Interest Company (a social enterprise and not for profit) dedicated to bringing Forest School and Outdoor Learning to our community. Sessions run on The Wild Meadow, a beautiful re-wilding meadow off Beccles Common. We gather around the fire, cook food together, climb trees, craft with natural materials- and just generally have a wonderful time outdoors. Throughout the year we h
ave a wide variety of sessions for a wide variety of ages, from our Stay and Play sessions for 0-5 years with accompanying adult to our Wild Wellbeing sessions for ages 65+. Our Outdoors Early Years setting is something we are especially proud of, like nursery or pre-school but totally outdoors! And we have amazing links with local schools who come to visit us every week. We are a bunch of people who believe with the whole of our hearts in the Forest School Ethos. When a person can regularly spend time in nature, following their interests, within a community that cherishes them for who they are, that person will develop a deep connection with both nature and others, bringing them peace and wellbeing, and helping to protect our planet.
