“Enjoyed it more than I thought I would / not the sort of thing I would normally do”
Why we do it: We believe that everyone should have a safe space to learn, play and have fun outdoors, and these opportunities increase self-esteem and enhance personal, social and emotional development. Our values include working within a rights based approach, and promoting equality and inclusion. We offer a fun and accessible approach to our work, whilst understanding that there can be a broad range of personal, social and political barriers to people taking part.
Our site:
Nant y Glyn Forest School is located on a small hillside woodland just outside Colwyn Bay, North Wales. The woodland is relatively young, planted around thirty years ago and is a mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees including beech and Norway spruce. The site has a specifically built fire circle area with seating and compost toilet facility.
