Core Values

At Glasgow Forest School, we believe that nature is a place for all, especially urban dwellers. Our core values are connection, adventure and growth.

We strive to connect urban people with the great outdoors, to inspire curiosity through hands-on experiences, and foster personal development in both children and adults.

Our mission is to get people off their screens and into the woods to connect with nature.

Rave Reviews

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

FOREST SCHOOL PARENT

“Forest school is really fun, I got to make things and cook yummy food over the camp fire!”

FOREST SCHOOL CHILD

“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.”
