A classroom with no walls
Description
The living, breathing forest is a versatile learning space, with room to think and space to explore.
Give your class the opportunity to become rangers for the day with our easy-to-use, self-contained Ranger in a Bag.
Our bags support you to deliver learning about forests at your own pace with experiential activities, scenarios and role play. Packed with practical tasks, they are curriculum linked and flexible to fit a range of learning outcomes.
With four different themes to choose from, Trainee Forester, Trainee Woodland Artist, Trainee Wellbeing Champion and Trainee Ecologist (Woodland Minibeasts), each bag contains:
• Equipment, games and resources
• Activity sheets and instructions
• Health and safety guidance
• Plenary activities
We recommend half a day to get the most out of this activity. If you’re planning a full day visit, you can add a second bag, or use our free learning resources.
Ranger in a Bag is suitable for children aged 4 – 11, with enough resources for 35 children.
£35 +VAT for the first bag
£50 +VAT for 2 bags
£65 +VAT for 3 bags
Available year round, book by emailing learning.west-central@forestryengland.uk
Free pre-visit sessions with a member of Forestry England staff can help you plan your visit, go through the backpacks and look around the site (subject to availability).
