Forest Weekday Adventure for Youths Aged 11 to 16 Years, September
**Forest School Sessions for Home-Educated Children at Foxburrow: A Comprehensive Guide**
The Suffolk Wildlife Trust is inviting home-educated children to immerse themselves in nature at the Forest School sessions at Foxburrow Nature Reserve. While the Trust primarily hosts professional development training for Forest School Leaders, they also offer sessions tailored for home-educated children, albeit with limited information available online.
For those interested, it is recommended to contact Suffolk Wildlife Trust directly for the most current and relevant schedule. The available dates for the Forest School Leader (Level 3) course are as follows:
- **13th–17th October 2025** (5 consecutive days) - **11th–13th November 2025** (3 consecutive days) - **24th–25th November 2025** (2 consecutive days)
Each session runs from **9:30am to 5:30pm**.
For the home-educated children's sessions, participants are requested to wear closed-toed shoes and long trousers due to the presence of stinging nettles and midges. Children must also bring a packed lunch, a drink, and suitable outdoor clothing.
The sessions are held entirely outside, and as such, children should be prepared for the weather. Sessions typically involve activities such as putting up ropes, hammocks, and using tools. It is important to note that fires and tools cannot be used without covered legs and toes.
If a child has specific mobility needs, it is advised to contact the organizers before booking to discuss accommodations. Wheelchair access is available for the sessions.
Children must be dropped off by an adult who confirms emergency contact details and the person collecting them with the staff. Booking for the event closes the day before it takes place.
The event follows the Forest School ethos of child-led learning, allowing children to explore and learn at their own pace. Unfortunately, no information about parking is provided, and the event is not suitable for dogs.
