Find a Forest School or Bushcraft Centre in Northern Ireland
This page lists Forest Schools, Bushcraft Centres, and Outdoor Learning providers across every County in Northern Ireland, with links, locations, and contact details.
Parents! - I constantly hear you saying things like “There’s a Forest School down the road and I’ve no idea how to find out about it…” so I wanted to pull together a list of all the independent Forest School, Outdoor learning and Bushcraft providers that I know about, in one easy place.
Some Forest Schools will deliver sessions outside of their local area, so it’s always worth getting in touch if you see one you like.
School Programmes - If you want to see whether your child’s school is an accredited Forest School NIFSA have a Directory of these here: Directory • Forest Schools in Northern Ireland
Forest School Providers! - If you run a Forest School and you’d like to be added to this list please use the form at the bottom of this page to submit your details and we’ll happily add you.
