Greenwood Growth CIC Forest School

22/11/2025

Thank you Members for supporting Greenwood Growth CIC. The funding will help us continue to support young children struggling to access education by providing nurture sessions in the woods.

We meet children and their carer at Tittesworth Water every Wednesday afternoon for play, exploration and nature connection delivered the Forest School way. To enquire about this provision please get in touch.

The light in the woods was astonishing today. The sun appeared to be caught in a forgotten jar, ignited frost and eventually set through the trees. Just wow. It was a day to remember how tiny we are in this great turning, and how to be in the woods.

Home education sessions are returning to Teggsnose Woods, Macclesfield. We've had a break from this site for a couple of years or more letting the forest floor breathe and allowing the cattle do good work restoring the environment.

Look out for a welcome session in early February, as the sap rises, providing an opportunity for communities to meet the team and help us create something special together.

A day with a beginning, middle, and end. In the beginning our toddler group noticed the Acorns desperate to find a way into the earth and gave them a helping hand to root. In the middle our teens were on top form working well with tools to make Santas, reindeer and fire. And in the end there were mushroom spotters galore. Ros and I left the woods to lanterns and the sound of the Tawny Owl.

"Hello sky. Hello tree. I wonder how the earth feels today?"

Looking forward to our toddler group this morning at Horton St Michael's CE First School & Nursery, Rudyard in the beautiful little woodland in November. If you've not been before, you will be made very welcome. Let us know you're joining by booking via www.greenwoodgrowth.org

Chuffed to the bottom of our muddy boots to see Westwood College invest in young people in this way. It was a great day by all accounts. Great stuff Moorlands Climate Action keep doing what you do.

We are grateful to EqualBase Cheadle for the magic they have brought to Dimmingsdale this Autumn. The group visited the treasure hunt they imagined and created earlier this week in a group walk everyone could access. Working with this group has been inspiring, and the reaction of regular visitors to Dimmingsdale of our treasure hunt heart warming. Huge thanks to all involved especially artists Emma and James; Lauren and Callum who trust us with this space; and every visitor who paused to learn about this work. If you ever pay stubs for our groups this project is an example of how we use those coins directly in our community.
