At Badgers Forest School, we aim to re-kindle some of the magical joys of childhood like climbing trees and getting muddy!

​

We also think that if children build a relationship with the outdoors when they're very young, and experience being outside regularly, they will be more likely to be motivated to continue enjoying the outdoors more when they're older. We think this makes children happier and healthier.

​

Set up by Emily Wilson in January 2012 we provide inspiring woodland adventures to children & families in Bristol and the surrounding area. 

We currently run the forest school and outdoor learning programme for  Bishop Rd Primary & St John's Primary in Bristol. We also run occasional one off events and CPD courses. 

 

Wraxall Piece is a wonderful dedicated Forest School site owned by the Forestry England, our learning partner. Wraxall Piece is teaming with incredible wildlife and plants like the protected English bluebells, badgers, deer, great spotted woodpeckers, buzzards, many wildflowers and much more! It's more likely you'll meet the snails, slugs, worms, centipedes and millipedes whilst at Forest School. Wraxall Piece also offers more privacy from dog walkers and the general public which allows children to play more freely.

Badock's Wood is in the heart of Bristol. It is ancient woodland hidden between Henleaze, Southmead and Westbury-on Trym. It is a Local Nature Reserve and full of amazing wildlife. We have access to streams, bridges, stepping stones and meadow. There are hidden treasures all over the wood including a beautiful carving of the Green Man. In springtime is full of wild garlic and English bluebells. It is accessible for wheelchair users and can be reached by public transport.
