A blank canvass?

Let the grass grow! Likely to be a diversity of plants present Incorporate development of your site into the curriculum Stop the contractors from mowing it off

Log circles do not = Forest School

Create interest at your site or nearby

Encourage biodiversity

Create habitat

Plant trees and shrubs Choose native species wherever possible Consider planting mini orchards or small groups of fruit trees Choose things which will be useful at Forest School Plan the management of these new arrivals!

Manage your resource sustainably Prune for renewal Coppice broad leaved trees Allow the site to recover Make cost / benefits decisions Take a trip to a woodland once in a while

Enjoy it!
