Current Projects
The Den
We meet on Thursdays (term-time) between 10am - 4pm for a day in the woods.
Facilitated by a core team and supported by regular parent and youth volunteers, children aged 5-8 are welcome to join us.
The Nest
We meet on Fridays (term-time) between 10am - 4pm for a day in the woods.
Facilitated by a core team and supported by regular parent and youth volunteers, young people aged 8 - 11 are welcome to join us.
The Roost
We are piloting a group for ages 12*-16, for 8 weeks from October 2024.
Our intention is to create a space for young people to gather, to find community, to express their individuality, direct their own learning and nurture their connections to the natural world.
Hearth
Join us each month for a makers circle in nature at East Pollokshields Quad (age 16+)
A supportive creative space - no experience necessary - come as you are and have a play and explore with natural materials around a fire.
Sessions are supported by Gina and Sophie, both forest school-ers, crafters and makers.
Work in Schools
Work with us to create bespoke outdoor learning programmes for your school, class or group.
Our talented outdoor leaders bring a range of child-centred approaches to nature-led learning, either in school grounds or out in a local green space.
Email Gina to discuss your requirements and get a quote.

Our Day Together
Our day at The Den, Nest and Roost is structured by a frame which begins and ends with a 15 minute circle meeting.
At the morning meeting we check in and run through our plans for the day.
At the afternoon meeting we check out and make suggestions for next week’s session.
Time between meetings is spent in freely chosen activity and/or participating in any plans for the day that have been made at meetings.
Types of activities we can support include; den building, tool use, fire skills, campfire cooking*, imaginative play, sculpture, arts and crafts, drama, music making, team games, quiet time, storytelling, experiments, construction - wherever their curiosity leads, we will follow!
*campfires are subject to permission from the landowner (GCC) and not available every session.
