Birmingham FEI cluster group
Birmingham

The group formed in September 2004 with the initial focus of developing sustainable Forest Schools in Birmingham working in partnership with key organisations.

Members of the group include Birmingham Parks Ranger Service, CSV Environment, Groundwork Birmingham, Birmingham Children's Services and independent Forest School Practitioners.

The group promotes Forest School, arranging local training, and provides advice and support to schools. We have a Practitioners Group who meet to share best practice. For more information or a copy of our feasibility study "Towards Forest School in Birmingham" contact Afric Crossan.

The group's ultimate ambition is for every child in the City to have an entitlement to participate in Forest School.

We also aim to support our Birmingham Members where ever possible. As part of this vision, we intend to provide a range of training to support outdoor practitioners and educators in our area. Where ever possible we will attempt to subsidise this training in order to make it affordable.  If you would like to become a member and be informed about training opportunities, please contact Afric or visit our website.
