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.

Back to the drawing board.....


After the meeting on site on Friday we re-grouped back in the studio. Above is a diagram of the quantities of wood which we have. We furthered our design and looked intosome products which we may decide to use. We are considering using wooden pallets for the base, in a kind of raft type floor.

Below: Abbey and Jo modelling our ideas.
