Forest School Outreach
Originating from Scandinavia the philosophy of Forest School is to encourage and inspire children of any age through positive outdoor experiences.
At Forest School we develop a programme for specific needs, working with what you have as an outdoor setting. This can vary from woodlands, gardens, even an urban setting or concrete play area. We can create a natural world to encourage wildlife, and inspire the children and adults to use the space in a variety of ways.
Unique School Trips
We are open all year round for school visits where we will provide you with a taster of the Forest School ethos designed to inspire young minds.
Forest school uses the woods and forests as a means to build independence and self-esteem in children and adults. Take advantage of this valuable resource to enrich and enliven the curriculum and stimulate learning. See our activity packs to choose your theme, then talk to a forest school leader to find out more.

Parkwood – Campsite – School Trips
Situated within the South Downs National Park, our lovely site nestles at the foot of the South Downs close to Devil’s Dyke and the South Downs Way.
Within 23 acres of ancient woodlandthere are 19 secluded camping areas, each named after a part of Brighton or the surrounding settlements. We can accommodate groups of various sizes, from teams of four doing their D of E (Duke of Edinburgh) training, to District Events of 300 plus. The site is totally self-contained, the only access being via the gate on the A281
Knowlands woodland – Barcombe- Lewes
Knowlands Wood is 75 acres of old hornbeam, oak and mixed coppice on the north side of Barcombe with Church Farm to the north and Knowlands Farm to the south of it. it has become a wildlife haven. It had not been touched since the war and was a uniform dark canopy, largely without birds or flowers. Now it is home to a wealth of bird life, flowers, deer and other flora and fauna which were not there before. This has been achieved by coppicing and making open areas and rides. Silver-washed Fritillaries and White Admirals are now a regular feature of the woodland clearings in July. Hunter gather cook and the nest folk also use these woodland from time to time.
