?? Happy Forest School Day 2024! ?? I’m so grateful to celebrate Forest School Day with this wonderful community! Being part of Forest School, both as a practitioner and as someone who trains others to deliver Level 3 Forest School, is such a joy. It’s incredible to see how this approach inspires more and more people to get children outside—whether within mainstream schools or through alternative learning. Forest School is about so much more than just outdoor learning. It’s about fostering ??mental health, ??self-esteem, and empowering young people with a sense of agency and autonomy. These skills are essential, especially in today’s world, where we need to be part of a community that says "yes" to protecting our planet and "no" to its harm. ?? While issues like climate change can feel overwhelming, kids are clear—they don’t agree with the destructive systems in place. Forest School helps them connect deeply with the natural world, reminding them (and us!) that we are not separate from the land. It shows them how humans can be a positive force within natural systems. Through regular visits to outdoor environments, children experience risky play and learn how to handle the uncertainties of the world—a crucial skill in a time of increasing challenges. I’m so proud to be part of a movement that equips children with the tools to navigate their emotions, the changing climate, and the world around them. Forest School creates space for kids to thrive, explore, and understand their relationship with nature on a deeper level. So today, let’s celebrate the opportunity to bring children outside, help them build long-term connections with the environment, and prepare them for the future. Happy Forest School Day!

??? Transforming Schoolyards, Transforming Lives ??? At the Trust for Public Land, we believe in a future where every child has access to a safe, green space for play and learning.

Why Green Schoolyards? Health & Safety: Protects children from extreme heat and promotes physical well-being. Academic Performance: Natural settings enhance focus, creativity, and learning outcomes. Mental Health: Regular access to green spaces significantly improves children's mental health. Community Impact: Provides vital green open spaces for play and community activities, reducing urban heat and pollution. ?? Let’s Reimagine Our Concrete Playgrounds: Imagine less asphalt and more nature in our schoolyards, where children can connect with the environment and thrive academically and socially. Our vision is ambitious but achievable—with your support. #1BforTheKids, #GreenSchoolyards, #EducationBond, #CALeg. @TrustForPublicLand Together, we can make green schoolyards a reality for every child in California. ????

You have a choice: to do or not to do! There is trash in and around a school's outdoor play area and school grounds in a city in which you live. You know how demotivating and unhealthy it is for the students, teachers, and staff that works there. So will you do something about it? You may think if you don't have anything to do with that school, you can just ignore it. After all there are so many problems in the world that you cannot do anything about and you have enough things to worry about. Or you can say, here is my opportunity to do something that makes a difference. There are many options for what you can do. You can speak up about it, raise awareness, try to address the underlying problems, organize an event to pickup trash or join one such event that has already been organized! On the occasion of the Earth Day, consider picking up some trash and showing your love for mother earth at the same time as helping make this school an inviting place for learning and growing. #EarthDay #Clean #Schools

???? We're thrilled to be part of an affiliate partnership pilot with the National Education Nature Park, supporting a shared mission of empowering children and young people to make a positive difference to both their own and nature's future. Earthwatch works with schools across England to participate in Nature Park activities as part of?our Green Earth Schools programme. Within this programme children and young people learn about the environmental challenges facing our planet and urban spaces and explore nature-based solutions. Pupils are given the creative platform to re-design and re-build their own school grounds into nature-rich spaces, enriching pupil engagement and enhancing green skills in solutions-based thinking and leadership. We prioritise working with schools in urban locations, where access to nature is most limited and with a focus on reaching underserved communities.
