FREE Forest School

 

Are you a Lewisham Council Housing resident (previously known as Lewisham Homes)? We're delighted to announce that we have been awarded funding through the Lewisham Council Housing Community Investment Fund to offer a range of free nature-based opportunities for children and families.What's available?

​

🌿 Nature Explorers (Ages 8–12)

Drop-off Forest School sessions in Dacres Wood Nature Reserve. Children will explore the woodland through hands-on activities such as pond dipping, wildlife identification, nature crafts, tool use, shelter building and seasonal discovery.

​

🐞 Little Explorers Funded Places

Four funded places for children to attend our Little Explorers sessions over six months. Attending regularly gives children the opportunity to experience the changing seasons, from the first signs of spring through to the colours of autumn, while building confidence and a connection with the natural world.We will also be offering volunteering opportunities for older young people who have previously attended our sessions and would like to gain experience supporting younger children.If you are a Lewisham Council Housing resident and think your child or family could benefit from one of these opportunities, we'd love to hear from you.
