What we do<\/strong><\/p>\n

We run Forest School activities and outdoor education, offering experiential learning for all.\u00a0We are available to work in schools, colleges and community groups; with organisations,\u00a0individuals and families. \u00a0We aim in particular to encourage those who don\u2019t have easy access to the outdoors to engage and explore. We especially welcome\u00a0disadvantaged and special needs groups. Forest school is particularly useful for those who struggle in the conventional learning arena and the ‘neutral’ territory of the woodland often plays a key role in breaking down social and psychological barriers.<\/p>\n

We are passionate about woodlands and what we can all learn from spending time in the natural world.\u00a0It is our belief that being in the forest\u00a0provides a holistic and healing environment.<\/p>\n

Where we work<\/strong><\/p>\n

Natural Connection Sussex works both in school grounds and also in beautiful Plashett Wood near Lewes.\u00a0The site incorporates a main recreational building, with an office, kitchen, classroom and toilets. Also located in the wood we have a large traditional barn to work in with a wood burning stove . Outside we can cook on a campfire, surrounded by the ancient woodland, with fields and ponds nearby.<\/p>\n

Plashett wood comprises a 381.2 acre site of Special Scientific Interest, which includes protected private woodland. It is located near Isfield, Lewes, East Sussex.<\/p>\n
