During lockdown, we made a series of films to provide some Forest School ideas you can do in the garden; we've kept them here so you can still try out some cool activities at home.

Our Philosophy
Forest Quest aims to develops the skills and confidence to thrive in a natural environment by developing physical skills, mental strength and an appreciation of nature. We follow the philosophy of Forest School in all our activities which encourages participants (children and adults) to have a go, to persevere, and to build on their enthusiasms.
We believe that children should have the opportunity to develop their self-confidence, knowledge and experience by doing things for themselves. The outdoor environment offers an endless range of possibilities, including how to manage risk, discovering nature, and developing valuable life-skills through meaningful and achievable activities. Our activities encourage children to learn and have fun whilst exploring the natural environment.
For adults, we believe that our activities provide a way to reconnect with the natural environment. Participants can learn a range of bushcraft skills, enjoy the outdoors and each others company in a stimulating but relaxing environment.

Where are we?
We mainly operate in private woodland just off the A19 between Easingwold and York. However, we can work in other locations - the map shows our normal area, but we can go further.
