Wildlings Forest School was co-founded by Nicki Farrell and Vicci Oliver, rebel high school teachers with a passion for children’s right to play. At Wildlings we aim to help children build resilience, connection and environmental stewardship through wild adventure and nature immersion. This type of learning environment helps children develop confidence, self-esteem, independence and creativity through experiencing the natural world and by teaching practical, outdoor skills. This process of observation allows children the space and opportunity to delve into various activities and experiences guided by their imagination, rather than explicit, external direction.
