Dorset Forest School

Dorset Forest School is a community interest company (C.I.C) started by Jill Hooper and Maddy Irvine to provide forest school in Dorset. They are aided and abetted by Forest School leading lights Helen O’Hara, Ash Crocker, Helen Day, Claire Platten,  Julia Quinn, Kathy Kelly,  Nicole Woods, Emily Gainsford, and Loretta Perrella.

Forest school encourages holistic development, but most importantly support social interactions as activities are designed to build co-operation, communication and self-esteem.  Experience shows how forest school can especially nurture those children with additional needs.

Nature Nurture is one of Dorset Forest School's projects.  Their dream is all for all children and young people to benefit from nurturing nature of forest school activities.
