Forest of Dean, Beechenhurst, Forestry England

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, Woodland Artist, Wellbeing Champion and Ecologist ( 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 downloadable learning resources. Ranger in a Bag is suitable for children aged 4 – 11, with enough resources for 35 children.
