“Project Re-wild are amazing at what they do , my kids are loving connecting with nature and feeling part of a tribe. There are so many “forest schools” out there nowadays, but this is so much more than that , it’s about genuinely connecting with the earth and others. We are so lucky that we discovered Rewilding”
Rewilding the way we educate.
At Project Rewild we want to help schools, educators and parents to rethink the way we teach our children, to get outside more and learn from the natural world around us. At this critical time in history it is vital that our children are given regular opportunities to connect with nature, to learn and grow as part of the natural world. We want to help everyone to Rewild our Education

Project Rewild is leading the way in offering alternative outdoor learning opportunities and training for students and school staff.
As part of our Rewilding Education programme, we are creating innovative nature-based learning methods which offer schools the opportunity to improve the health, happiness and wellbeing of their students and in turn improve attendance and academic outcomes.
Staff Training:
We deliver high quality training to school staff across East Sussex. We want to help schools use nature in their learning more, giving staff the confidence and tools to get outside with their students and see the benefit it has on their learning and wellbeing.

FREE TO LEARN
Woodland education group: In addition to our work in schools we also offer our own woodland education group as an alternative to, or addition to a child’s mainstream education. Our hugely popular Free to Learn group runs all year round during term time and offers a full day in the woods every week. more information can be found here: Free to Learn
LIVING EARTH
Our exciting new outdoor project will give children a rare opportunity to work directly with the land.
Students will gain practical skills and knowledge whilst gaining a deep understanding of what it means to live in connection with to the natural world around them.
We will be discovering our historical and geographical relationship to the land around us through growing and harvesting food, cooking, foraging, preserving, exploring herbal medicines, and traditional hand-crafting. We’ll uncover stories and folklore that have linked people to the Sussex landscape for hundreds of years. The children will be given a chance to develop a direct hands-on relationship with the land.
“We have forgotten that children are designed by nature to learn through self-directed play and exploration, and so, more and more, we deprive them of freedom to learn, subjecting them instead to the tedious and painfully slow learning methods devised by those who run the schools.”
