Re: Forest Schools Origin
 

Forest school is a kind of outdoor education in which children or adults visits forests/woodlands, learning personal, social and technical skills. Also we can say that "it is an inspirational process that offers children, young people and adults regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a woodland environment”. Forest school is both pedagogy and a physical entity. Originally the concept of forest school was developed in Wisconsin in 1927. Later in the 1950s the idea was introduced in Sweden, Denmark and other countries of Europe.
