We have a variety of free resources available to download! These are available on the right.
We also have a YouTube channel, with lots of free activities split over a series of playlists, suitable for primary age children (school and family groups or individuals).
Take a look at a selection of the kind of work we do with schools, including games and ideas, to help you with pre or follow-up work and using your journey to introduce The National Forest.
There is an emphasis on fun as well as learning.
We are also pleased to share “Inspired by Nature” with you. It is a learning resource pack about using plants and trees for education work. It was written by Louise Ambrose from Birchwood Learning, as part of a grant-funded, joint project within the local Forest Education Network England (FENE) group. Contact us for more information or to join the network.
