We invite you to reflect on your Forest School practice and whether it is nature connection or nature contact? Does it matter? We believe it does! In this video we explore why nature connection is a core part of Forest School ethos, how it is fundamental to holistic development and introduce the attributes of connection as indicators.

If you are currently doing your Forest School training or already a Forest School Leader looking to brush up on your Forest School skills I hope this video helps you develop your Forest School activities and practice.
