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.

Roadtrip round Yorkshire to collect wood...


After driving over 120 miles around the countryside looking for all the scrap wood we could possibly lay our hands on, we returned to the site with a van full of useful timber. Thank you to Atkinsons and Jenx for their generosity.
