The Fields Millennium Green Trust
We also supported Maggie & Clive Sweet at The Fields Millennium Green Trust on Sunday 20th February at their Den-Building afternoon.
We had great fun helping the kids build dens out of freshly coppiced willow and hazel. It took some of us right back to our own childhood! All of the kids and parents who turned up that day were fantastic! The team who designed and built the winning Den did it virtually all on their own, with a little bit of encouragement from Lynn and Chris! Check out our photo's below!
We at FoKNP are keen to develop and promote outdoor environmental education experiences for children of all ages - especially in light of the devastating cuts in environmental education in schools and outdoor centres!
If you too are unhappy at these cuts you might want to check out http://www.coalitionofresistance.com/ and make your voice heard!

And the winner is...er..well...us actually!

Environmental Conference at the Lickey Hills
On Saturday 19th February a couple of us attended an environmental conference at the Lickey Hills Centre. It was hosted by the Rangers Service in conjunction with FEI~Forest Education Initiative ~ http://www.foresteducation.org/.
The highlight of the day was an inspirational talk by Sue Fenoughty from the National Association for Environmental Education (NAEE) ~ http://www.naeeuk.plus.com/index.htm.
We were really struck at how passionate this group were in delivering their aims of supporting those teaching environmental education. Watch this space for more on this in the near future.
