REWILDING EDUCATION
“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

high weald connections
What makes the High Weald special, and what can we do to help look after it?
Free outdoor learning days for local schools and youth groups to explore, understand and protect the High Weald landscape on their doorstep.

The project aims to help children and young people spend more time outside, move more and develop a positive relationship with physical activity.
REWILD WOODLAND SCHoOL
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 Rewild Woodland School group runs all year round during term time and offers a full days in the woods every week. more information can be found here: Rewild Woodland School
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.

LIVING EARTH
Giving 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.
THIS GROUP IS ON HOLD AT PRESENT. BUT WILL RETURN SOON!
“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.”
