14-Day Trial: Level 3 Forest School Leader Training

 
 

Hi, I’m Jackie!

I’m one of the UK’s leading forest school trainers and outdoor learning experts.

I first heard about forest school when I was training as a primary school teacher, more than a decade ago. I found the education system to be outdated, full of pointless tasks and, quite frankly, joyless. Forest school sounded amazing!

So I trained as a forest school leader, started my own forest school and I’ve never looked back. I spent three years working for many of Bristol's green institutions including the Avon Gorge & Downs Wildlife Project, Bristol Zoo and Wild Place. I began training others through the Forest of Avon Trust, whilst also being a founder of The Hawthorn Project, a weekly outdoor project for women in recovery. I've also found time to complete a PGDip in Education and to train as a Montessori practitioner.

In forest school I found my element, the thing that spoke to my soul and that this was where I could really make a difference to both people and planet. It gave me the freedom to teach how I wanted and to create a job I love. After years of practising, I can now share that passion and experience with you, all at your own pace and in your own time.
