Forest Schools are springing up across the UK. In Scotland, 20 early years practitioners have just finished their training to become the first 'leaders' of Scotland's Forest School Network, while Wales has just launched its Pounds 300,000 North East Wales Forest School (NEWFS). In England, areas now with Forest Schools include Oxfordshire, Worcestershire, Devon, Durham, Yorkshire and Shropshire.
In some instances, local authorities have set up Forest School projects for their local settings to access, while some early years practitioners have been inspired to become Forest leaders and start their own Forest School (see case studies, pages 20, 21 and 22).
