Forest School Day is an annual celebration day that connects, shares, and celebrates everything great and wonderful about forest school. As part of the international Forest School network, Learning In Nature invites you to take part in this festive day and celebrate 8th of October
Celebrations the forest school values way
In the northern hemisphere October is a great time to be out in the woods. There should be a special word for the first fire of the season we should celebrate it as part of the changing seasons.
Celebrations bring us together. It allows time to pause, relax and laugh out loud at the antics of what being outside at Forest school brings. Time to reflect about where we have come from and how far we have travelled.
Forest School Day does just that. Its core message is to celebrate, share and connect with people. People brought together though the experience of Forest School. Wherever in the world you are!
Forest School day in its fourth year has grown and grown each year. Last year going international for the first time! It is easy for all to take part.
Your Forest School Day celebration can be as big or as small as you like. You can use it to shout about what your forest school offer or use it to have a cup of tea around the fire and chat. Which in 2020 was a treat and a celebration in itself. Be inspired view our Forest School Day celebrations page.
