We're proud that with COOP Midcounties we've delivered 38,000 hours of volunteering in our communities: a mass of co-operation. Our colleague Gemma completed her volunteering hours supporting Forest School Association and we're happy to promote this organization in our Advent Calendar this year.

Forest School Association

The Forest School Association is the professional body and UK wide voice for Forest School, promoting best practice, cohesion and ‘quality Forest School for all'.

Their aim is to provide a nationwide base for Forest School Practitioners and those interested in Forest School.  Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees.  Forest School is a specialised learning approach that sits within and compliments the wider context of outdoor and woodland education.
