About the project:
The Children’s Forest was first seeded in Autumn 2024 by children of Muddy Boots Nursery near Battle, East Sussex.
From the Landowner:
“As we move into our 10th year, we are excited to introduce our latest learning environment. Natalie, who is already Beach and Forest School trained has recently trained to become a Children’s Forest facilitator. Over the last 8 years, Muddy Boots has taken part in the Woodland Trust, Free Trees for Schools scheme and planted hundreds of saplings in and around our learning communities.
Becoming part of the Children’s Forest, felt like a natural progression for Muddy Boots, our vision and hope for the future are very much shared. I am really excited to share with our children and families the knowledge, creativity and songs from my recent studies.”
