Learning Resources
Imagine a “Ranger in a Bag” – an ingenious learning resource tailored for preschool and primary-aged children, neatly packed in a rucksack. This portable treasure trove brings the forest to life, with clear learning outcomes aligned with the national curriculum. For those opting for self-guided visits, Forestry England provides forests as natural classrooms, promoting hands-on learning, free play, and exploration. Downloadable resources further enhance the trip, offering additional materials that extend the educational journey beyond the forest canopy.
Downloadable Resources and Children’s University
Step into a world of learning tailored for curious minds with Forestry England’s partnership with the Children’s University. The Children’s University, an international charity dedicated to encouraging children aged 5 to 14 to explore new experiences and acquire skills beyond the school day, has joined forces with Forestry England. This collaboration brings forth an exciting array of downloadable resources, designed to infuse fun and education into every corner of the nation’s forests. Available for exploration at any Forestry England site, these resources cover an extensive range of subjects, including Maths, Science, Geography, Geology, as well as Outward Bound and Orienteering. Whether it’s calculating tree heights, exploring the ecosystem, or navigating the forest with newfound orienteering skills, these resources amplify the learning adventure, making every forest visit an opportunity for holistic education and personal growth. Dive into these captivating activities, seamlessly integrated into the Children’s University ethos, and let the forest become your dynamic classroom for exploration and discovery.
