Family Forest School Festival
Come and find us in the Woods at Moore Nature reserve for our family forest school festival!
The day will include 3 different bookable activities
Campfire lighting: This session will focus on fire safety, lighting a fire using fire sticks, natural materials that can be found, listening to and enjoying the natural world, and everyone’s favourite – marshmallow toasting!
Willow weaving: We will guide you to create a beautiful autumn wreath for your home, to remind you of your time in the woods connecting with nature. Children and adults will find different leaves, identify the species of tree, and weave them into their autuum wreaths.
Den building: Can you and your family meet this challenge? Learn how to tie knots to secure tarpaulins for your den, use materials to make it secure, and learn about the wildlife that make their homes in the wood.
