Forest School For Grown-Ups: Explore the Wisdom of the Woods

Richard Irvine

Forest Schools need not be just for children. Here is the ultimate guide for how adults can enjoy the benefits of outdoor learning too. Forest schools for kids originated in Scandinavia as outdoor play-based learning groups. By the 1990s, forest schools had been established in Germany, California and the UK with the benefits of nature play being internationally recognised. But why should kids have all the fun? Connecting with green spaces, trees and plants can lift our spirits, lower our stress levels and relax our brains - in short, playing outside is good for adults too. Forest School for Grown Ups is here to help. From finding your way in the woods to foraging for food, knowing your knots and whittling utensils, you can learn new skills and practise forgotten ones. Beautifully designed and illustrated, Forest School for Grown Ups provides the perfect resource for anyone wanting to enjoy spending quality time outdoors. 224 pages.
