What We Believe

Glasgow's parks, gardens, and wild riverbanks make it our beloved Dear Green Place, and nature is waiting on our doorsteps, ready to connect.

“My daughter loves her sessions and forest school is the only thing she wants to do when she's off. She's learned so many skills that she would otherwise never get to do... whittling, learning and making fires safely.”

“She loves going, always has great time and not fussed getting muddy on walks at the weekend! I love the craft activities and that the kids make their camp together. The fresh air and sense of freedom and independence the kids get is priceless.”
