What's Been Happening?
Top left: Imagining: Their time in the woods enables the children to look out over the land and imagine future forests. Through the creative arts, they engage with the vision of woodland that they will plant.
Middle: One of the sessions at the Heugh
Right: Planting: As they plant the trees, the children plant their wishes for the future generations: ‘that these trees grow big and strong' ‘that all the animals will have a home,' ‘that squirrels will live in the branches of the trees'.
The Children's Forest teaching scheme is aimed at children between 5 - 11 years. B2Z director Lulu Guinness is leading the project and has applied for a Award for All lottery grant to enable organising this wonderful experience for the Brampton Primary School and other feeder primary schools.
A four step journey that supports a meaningful connection to tree planting and the existing ecosystem; that activates future generational thinking and supports children to take hopeful action in the face of climate change
1. Experiencing: By engaging in embodied experience in woodlands through Forest School, we support Children to develop genuine care and personal relationship with the natural world.
2. Imaging: Their time in the woods enables the children to look out over the land and imagine future forests. Through the creative arts, they engage with the vision of woodland that they will plant.
3. Planting: As they plant the trees, the children plant their wishes for the future generations: ‘that these trees grow big and strong' ‘that all the animals will have a home,' ‘that squirrels will live in the branches of the trees'.
4. Tending: We planted our woodland around a central Children's Fire. There the children will continue to gather in years to come, returning in the summer to tend the trees and conduct surveys.
