Forest School Lou
In 2019 we launched our YouTube Channel ‘Forest School Lou’ as a way of sharing knowledge and skills with a wider audience.
The channel has video’s on a range of topics such as:
- What is Forest School?
- Outdoor Learning and Forest School
- How to light a Fire
- Identifying Trees in Winter
- Short Term and Long Term Planning for Forest School
- Managing risk at Forest School
- Reflecting on Nature Connection verses Nature Contact
and much much more!
We hope our videos support your Forest School and Outdoor Learning journey. Please check them out and share with your woodlandy colleagues!
You can also download FREE Forest School resources and support our vision through our ‘Buy me a Coffee’ page.
