Forest School Training
The Hive is a response to the growing disconnect from nature more children experience. This affects not only their wellbeing but their ability to care for the natural world and how they apply the skills they develop as they grow up to the environmental challenges we face. Based in London, The Hive delivers Accredited Forest School Training that focuses on innovative ways to engage pupils in Forest School, particularly in urban environments where access to outdoor space is constrained.Our training team are not just experienced level 3 forest school practitioners. They’re also school teachers and practitioners with a deep knowledge of engaging “city children” in forest school. They understand the challenge of delivering a genuine Forest School experience in places where you may be reliant on the local park or common. They’re interested in helping you find clever “ways around” to make the most of the woodlands and green spaces that London offers.
Our training takes place at Stave Hill Ecology Park, a dense and rich nature reserve spanning 5 acres, just a few minutes away from Canada Water station in South East London.
We are accredited by AIM Qualifications and Assessment Group to deliver the following:
STAVE HILL ECOLOGICAL PARK
TIMBER POND ROAD
ROTHERHITHE
LONDON, SE16 6AX
Stave Hill Ecological Park is managed by The Conservation Volunteers as a nature reserve, educational facility, research area and place of recreation. The park has been designed and managed to form a mosaic of grassland, woodland, scrub and wetland habitats which support a wide variety of wildlife. This mosaic of habitats have been created from scratch by sowing and planting the poor soil.
The Park is intensively managed to conserve the wide variety of wildlife that colonised the area during the years the docks lay derelict and provide a haven for some of the species that lived here before humans so changed the land.More information about Stave Hill Ecological Park can be found here.
We've put together a short presentation introducing the Forest School ethos and principles and explaining how these benefit children. Click here to read.
