Groundwork Yorks & The Humber

A Forest School is a unique educational experience which offers children, young people and adults opportunities to develop a better understanding and respect for their natural environment through hands on learning experiences. Activities on Forest Schools are broken down into small achievable tasks so that participants build confidence and self-esteem. Forest Schools activities are flexible and can be adapted for use in playschemes, after school clubs, scouting and guiding activities etc. and can be run for all ages.

Groundwork, in partnership with the Children’s University of Bradford, delivers environmental based activities for children and young people to attend after school and during school holidays. These entertaining and interactive sessions provide, amongst other things, the opportunity for children and young people to enjoy and achieve through learning, be healthy and find out how to make a positive contribution to society. Sessions or programmes can be tailored by negotiation with the host organisation and the funder.
