Forest school, right here at Found Outdoors CIC CIC with Caz.

Hello, my next block of stay and play Forest School sessions for children aged 1 - 5 at are now open for booking! These begin on Tuesday the 9th of June and run for 6 weeks.

These sessions are all about child led play and adventures! Designed to spark curiosity, creativity and moments of wonder in children through immersive experiences in nature.

Each session there will be a range of different areas for the children to freely explore. Getting messy making mud pies, exploring the woodland and the creatures, plants and trees that live there. Take part in making seasonal nature based crafts, take in the calm in the cosy reading area under the trees. Swing in the hammocks and balance on the slackline. Sessions often include den building, games, songs, taking some mindful moments as well as the use of simple tools.

Sessions include a cooked treat on the campfire and a hot drink for grown ups!

We had a fun Sunday with volunteers from .mammal.group making Pine Marten feeder boxes. Grassroots conservation at its best 😀

Under the watchful eye of ecologist Gareth Harris and thanks to pine marten champion Jason, Sam, Alice and Alana (our work experience student from Lackham ) we constructed 17 boxes.

They are made from a plan by pine marten experts . The food is placed in the box and the holes let the smell out. The martens sit on the shelf and lift the lid to get the food. During this time a camera on a nearby tree will hopefully get a clear shot of the pale bib marking on the martens chest. This allows individual identification of the animal.

These are made from timber that we fell and mill on site ourselves. They are larch, a non native species, which is being removed as part of our very careful continuous cover forestry (CCF) work. They are very resinous so should last a good long time. The boxes are destined for various super secret sites in the county!

Alana even had time to make a bonus bee hotel (not shown)!
