Project Description

The Forest School idea is very potent concept
around a theory that whatever children can do
inside they can also do outside. Ecclesall
woods, the ancient woodland within the city
boundary has an old Sawmill site. The site
has exciting new plans for developing a centre
for innovative use of timber and has a number
of small businesses and enterprises already on
the site. At the moment the Forest School site
has outdoor play area and a teepee. They
would like to develop a “structure” to allow for
some additional facilities – to be decided but
most likely an “outside classroom” and the
aim is to build the project.

Tuesday's highlights

After an early start on site we split up into 3 construction teams. Here are some photos showing the day's highlights...

Olly and Jo measure up the huge storage unit...

...there is an awkward moment when, during a design meeting, Chris and Pete realise they are wearing the same outfit...

...the poles are paired up and marked ready for cutting on thursday...


and Steve helps Scott with a bit of sawing.


All in all, a productive day.
