What a beautiful day at the H2Whoa! Groundwater Festival 💧🌿

CNAC brought a Forest School popup to the festival, transforming the space into a place for curiosity, play, and connection with the Land. From loose parts and exploration tools to reading mats and shared learning spaces, children were invited to explore, create, and learn together outdoors.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, played, asked questions, and shared in the experience with us 💚

We’re excited to return to Foresters Falls for another week of connection, learning, and time on the Land. Last year’s Practitioners Course was filled with curiosity, joy, and meaningful outdoor learning as participants witnessed Forest and Nature School in action.

We’re especially grateful to our host, Out & About FNS.

"I am beyond excited and deeply honoured to be hosting the Forest Practitioners Course with CNAC—the very course that ignited my passion and set me on the path to starting Out & About FNS." — Arija Bunkis

Looking forward to gathering again and continuing to bring more children out and about in nature. Sign up now! Link in our bio. 🌲
