Forest School Leader CPD Days

Practical, hands-on training for Forest School leaders and outdoor educators who want to build their skills, confidence and capability in the woods.

Practical CPD for Outdoor Practitioners

Good Forest School practice depends on more than knowing the theory. You need practical skills that work reliably, the confidence to use them with groups, and enough understanding to adapt when things don’t go to plan.

My CPD workshops are hands-on days for Forest School leaders and outdoor educators who want to develop those skills through practice, experimentation and shared experience.

Designed for people who work outdoors

These workshops are primarily designed for Forest School leaders, but are equally relevant to outdoor educators, youth workers, teachers and others who use practical outdoor skills with groups.

You don’t need to be an expert. The focus is on developing useful, reliable skills at your own level and understanding how to apply them confidently in your practice.
