"I could see the growing movement and knew I needed to join up. Forests schools are exactly what our children need. They need connection, love, and nurturing in ways that a classroom can't offer them. Our disconnection from nature and quite frankly each other has put society into a deficit. To regrow the connections to each other, we need to grow our empathy and connection to the Earth. Forest Schools have the ability to do both. They are a community of people who are attune to nature and the ways that it is beneficial to children and adults. It allows us to slow down, take notice of things, appreciate the small parts of this world and learn from it. I am so excited to join those folks in the journey to bringing connection to our younger generations."
