"HOME"

In 2023/24 we brought the arts alongside our usual tools to the woods – have a look at what that was all about!

In the school year 2023/2024, we have had the fortune to be able to run a project funded by the Art Council, entitled “Home”, working with some of our forest school groups in a broader sense and using different artistic forms to help them think about how they feel in the woods and what their sense of belonging to the natural world might be like. 

We had the privilege of working with different artists who helped the children put their experiences and feelings about the woods across in photography, music, video and writing. 

Below you can find the films the groups have shot and some photos of their time in the woods – enjoy!
