Professional Development
In these times of change and pressure, are you
looking for inspiring ways of working with children and young
people in the outdoors?
Are you looking for motivation and inspiration?
Bishops Wood has been running courses of 'repute' for
educators since 1998 based on our own extensive work with schools
and local communities. In these times of change, with budget
cuts and changes in the way we live with the natural world and
local communities, our courses still provide real inspiration on
how to work and live creatively both in formal and informal
education settings.
Our site continues to develop - our new ground source heated
training room; 'dragon' cob oven in the revamped Danish
Garden; developing young peoples 'growing' area and numerous
types of Forest School sites provide a place full of ideas for
people to take away that are both environmentally and economically
resilient.
Our courses:

way
