Volunteer thank you week - Kids forest school session

Join us on a kids forest school session to celebrate volunteer week.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event

As part of a week-long programme of events to say 'thank you' to all volunteers across Plymouth, we are running a forest school session to any young volunteers in and around Plymouth.

Forest School is a learner-led, nature-based approach to education that encourages people, to create, problem-solve, and connect with the natural world. During the session we will be: • Roasting marshmallows, • Creating Boggarts, • Bug hunting

We are aiming the session at young volunteers, but you do not have to currently volunteer to book a place.

Over 5's only for forest school sessions. Under 18's must be accompanied by an adult. Car parking charges apply unless NT member.
