Irish Forest School Association Annual Gathering 2022

I had the pleasure of going to the IFSA annual gathering in Cavan in the amazing Tanagh Outdoor Education and Training Centre.

 

Over 60 Forest School leaders gathered from all over Ireland to skillshare and pass on wisdom and knowledge around the campfire.

Our Chairperson Joan Whelan presented her findings from her PhD study … on her findings on the crucial role that trained Forest leaders play in making quality Forest Schools accessible to school children and the importance of introducing children to nature.

And I learned new skills about how to make your Forest School more inclusive from the experienced SEN teachers and Forest School practitioners Sarah Whelan and Sinead Walsh.

Mourne Land Tree  Planting

“The fairest of the earth is this my land of Mourne with all its valleys green and hills of rock wind worn…”

Tree planting in the Mourne Mountains today in a place that means so much to me.

I have walked these mountains with my dad since I was no age and glad that I can give back.

This is an amazing project by NI Water, the Woodland Trust, and NI Farm Forestry.

We planted over 11,000 native trees such as Birch, Rowan, Scots Pine, and Irish Oak over a week covering an area of approximately 14 hectares.
