What we'll do
Learn how to make a simple non-permanent platform in the trees; great for the base of a tree house, or it could be used as a look out post, use it to get on to a zip wire, or even as a pirate ship! Learn how to risk assess the trees, what wood to use and how to fix the platform in the trees. Make a fixed wooden ladder & a rope ladder to get up to your platform. You will be using square lashing to create the beams and the platform, and use a marlin spike hitch to create a really quick easy rope ladder to climb up to your platform. You will also learn how to make a solid ladder.
About your mentors
Joanne Atkins
FS leader, trainer & woodland wanderer
I am a Forest School leader and trainer with Suffolk Wildlife Trust. I have many years experience of Forest school and of working with children, young people and adults. And I love plants - looking at them, smelling them & using them.
Suffolk Wildlife Trust
FS leader, trainer, OL, big kid at heart!
As a Wild Learning Officer with Suffolk Wildlife Trust for almost 20 years i've run a range of running environmental education visits for schools, families, home educated children and other specialist groups. I have been facilitating a number of different adult training courses from STEM sessions, SCITT courses, INSET days and now run level 1, 2 and 3 Forest school training too. Nature grounds me, calms me, excites and inspires me and I love sharing and seeing that passion and connection grow within others and being part of their journey.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
