The Forest School at Fontmell Down is the perfect venue for wild art, bug hunts, woodland games, fire-making, den building, outdoor cooking, and all sorts of other wild adventures. The Forest School is in a private woodland owned by the National Trust, and hired out exclusively for the use of schools and community groups. It offers all young visitors opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self esteem through hands on learning experiences in this beautiful woodland environment.

The campers at the Forest School need access to essential kit and basic cooking equipment but due to the Covid-19 pandemic the funding for this has been withdrawn. The JTYAF received a request to help and is delighted to support this application to help the forest school to provide the best experience possible for their young learners.
