Welcome back to The Forest School Podcast! In this episode, we dive into the realities of lone working in outdoor education, the unexpected (and hilarious) responsibilities of a Forest School leader, and the importance of connection in a role that can often feel isolating.

🌲 Key topics in this episode:

  • The highs and lows of returning to work after illness.

  • Why Forest School leaders need mental health policies for lone working.

  • Listener-submitted job descriptions, including ‘Animal Hostage Negotiator’ and ‘Fart Consultant’!

  • The role of play and improvisation in outdoor education.

  • Introducing ‘Surprise Student’ – a new game where we design a Forest School session for famous figures.

Join us as we reflect, laugh, and explore how we can better support outdoor educators. 🌿
