Merge / Adjustment

Rixs (talk) 13:56, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to merge Forest school (education) into this article. But don't comment on this page. Go to discuss merger.

I'd also like to move the elements about pre-school education into Forest kindergarten and make this article about school-age forest schools. This is already the intention, but this article is a bit of a combination.

I have started this. Don't say I didn't warn you! Rixs (talk) 16:43, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please leave the pre-school education elements here as it is equally for nusery as it is for school-age children. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomwalkerson (talk • contribs) 21:07, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

UK Centric

This article needs to talk about schools in America, Germany and other places. Right now the article just looks crazy.

Reference material

There are no references in the section on Wisconsin. This section on Wisconsin supposedly establishing the first forest school is very inaccurate. The movement that started in Wisconsin is only remotely or tangentially related, if at all. In Wisconsin, "school forests" were created and maintained by a school as a way to renew the disappearing forests. This really had little or nothing to do with the "forest school" movement that developed in Scandinavia.

Safety fears

Children denied school trips over teachers' fears of being sued in The Guardian, 2 October 2009. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rixs (talk • contribs) 09:56, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Needs serious work

There is the UK system. There are rootin tootin schools. There are building-free "drop off" schools. There are websites that promote "free" forest school while selling products or services. There are programs that have put their stamp on skills and knowledge to sell certificates for leaders. There are completely non-commercial grassroots consensus communities of parent-child teams which plan outting together. "Forest School" means many different things to many different people. This article needs a massive overhaul to convey that the wide variety of "forest school". NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 17:44, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
