A Handbook of FOREST PEDAGOGY in Early Childhood Education

“…This book shows how children's early exposure to nature provides fertile ground for the training of the heart and spirit as well as the mind.”
Dr. Louise Chawla

“…Developing a shared understanding of Forest School practices and cultural structure (ethos) will reassure teachers and help parents understand that their children will enjoy learning through play at Forest School.”
Dr. Frances Harris

“…This book covers important topics that will increase readers' knowledge of practice and theory by focusing on the underlying theories and philosophy of the Forest School and how this approach can contribute to holistic child development.”
Dr. Liz O'Brien

“…The Forest School in the UK is a model assumed to have evolved by those of us lucky enough to be there, building on and discussing the collective background knowledge and experience and cultural contexts we come from, and continues to be shaped and developed by practitioners today.”
Dr. Sarah Knight

“...This book is a handbook that aims to increase the theoretical and practical knowledge of individuals' learning in nature and the approach known worldwide as the Forest School. I think all educators, researchers, parents and people interested in learning in nature with children, learning with nature and learning through nature will find something valuable in this handbook.”
Dr. Mark Leather

“...Children will be our future; they will be the policy makers, the parents, the people who make the decisions that will affect the world we live in. The authors of this book are committed to allowing our children the opportunity to grow and develop and become the best people they can be.”
