A lifetime of commitment
Sarah Blackwell has been pioneering Forest Schools in the UK since 2001. Like many others, she knew there was a better way, a more natural and holistic approach to supporting our needs. Forest Schools was the answer.
"I am committed to change; I am committed to a flourishing generation; I am committed to babies, children and to their mothers and fathers, to families; to diversity; to education.
Most of all, I am committed to a life worth living."
