Meet our experienced facilitators
We're a group of people who genuinely love what we do and care deeply about each child who comes into our forest. We each bring different gifts, but share the same passion for child-led, nature-based learning.
"The teacher must adopt the role of facilitator not content provider."

"Once the teacher understands that mysterious powers exist within the child, and that these reveal themselves spontaneously through the child's activities, his attitude will change, no longer being that of a superior toward an inferior; for he will realise that here is a treasure that must be allowed to yield benefits."
