FOREST SCHOOL
All sessions take place in a woodland location throughout all the seasons. You will be guided by trained Forest School practitioners at each session and the ratio of practitioner to participant is kept low to allow for high quality instruction and service provision.

TREE PLANTING
We teach you all about trees, their benefits, collect native Irish tree seeds, and then teach you how to build a Forest in a Box.
COPPICING
Coppicing is an ancient sustainable woodland management technique that uses nature’s capacity for regeneration from a living tree and way to work with nature naturally, in that when you cut a tree down to its stool it does not die but regrows again.
COPPICE CRAFTS
All Claire’s stick chairs are handmade from locally sourced wood cut by her own hand through the sustainable and ancient woodland practice of coppicing from native woodlands in Ireland.
All chairs are unique one off pieces of work.
“I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least—and it is commonly more than that—sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements.”
– Henry David Thoreau
