Links to organisations connected to forest school and outdoor learning:
Forest School Education (Formerly Archimedes training) are the main training body for Forest School in the UK and their website is full of information about Forest School, including research and case studies.
A research study commissioned by the Forest Commission and New Economics foundation on the impact of Forest School on children and families entitled
Project Wild Thing - if you still need any convincing that young people need to spend more time outdoors, watch David Bond's timely and moving film. The website is also full of ideas for things to do outside.
Links to some of the inspirational people I have worked with recently:
