If you've travelled to Rowfant Trail in Crawley to visit us over the past year or so - thank you very much! We love being at such a beautiful location where everyone involved is so dedicated to making it a fabulous woodland. We're not leaving ... but as a little side quest we will be at Earlswood Junior School woodland on the 16th and the 30th October for 🍂 autumn and Halloween 🎃 pop up sessions

I grew up and went to school in Earlswood and it holds many special memories for me. It speaks and that's what I want to shout about this autumn by bringing families together in this great space 🌿💚🌳

Easy to get to on foot, by bus, scooter or bike... you'll be able to join us for a woodland stay and play with a small and friendly vibe. By sharing posts from small businesses we can promote each other and our communities.

I've tagged a few local folk who I know offer great things, whether that be somewhere to eat, drink, have a treatment or play...
Please do reshare and spread the word 🕊

My favourite weekend was at the in Nottingham with The Forest School Association So many practitioners coming together to share a love of the outdoors.

We'd love to hear a snippet of your September ... perhaps a favourite walk destination, activity or a simple nature memory. Let's share the September love as we leap into autumn 🍂

What better way to feel grounded and sane before the new term than to meet with fellow outdoor practitioners! Gen woodchips.forestschool and I went to visit Gemma Secret Garden in The Ham for a little look around her gorgeous garden and a chat about the joys of seeing children playing outdoors. We also talked about the pros and cons of self employment and the possibilities that a CIC company could hold.

This is a truly wonderful pocket of fun in Merstham, at the heart of the community there. Although we all work outdoors, our settings are very different and offer different experiences.

However, how lovely would it be to see Lana the fairy 🧚‍♂️ from the Secret Garden at one of our fairy birthday parties?

Are you an outdoor/EYFS educator in the local area who'd like to meet up with like minded people? We would love to hold a coffee catch up or craft date with you! What do you think? Drop us a comment below, repost this info or send us a message.
