It is also what I need! 'Helen, Isle of Wight'The training that I have undertaken has exceeded my expectations. I did not expect that by the end of five days training I would feel as skilled and as confident in delivering Forest School sessions to children at my own school. I was also not prepared for the experience to be as therapeutic as it has been. The time we have spent in the woodland has been so enjoyable that I will be extremely sad when it is over' - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/swanwick/forest-school-training-level-3-hampshire/100001118769813629 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 7 hours - Location: Swanwick Lakes Nature Reserve - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 1225, max: 1225, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Swanwick - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Swanwick Lakes Nature Reserve - **lat**: 50.88588499999999 - **long**: -1.2826109999999744 - **full address**: Swanwick Lakes Nature Reserve, Swanwick Lakes Nature Reserve, Swanwick, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Forest School Training Level 3 Hampshire - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/09a20ac6082df36e6fd31373ea48a0af97aa41f3c840e5d0f913115a14c2a3b4-rimg-w896-h600-dc466046-gmir.jpg?v=1779324792 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Forest School Training Level 3 Hampshire being held? - **A:** Forest School Training Level 3 Hampshire takes place on Wed, 24 Sep, 2025 at 09:30 am to Thu, 24 Sep, 2026 at 04:30 pm at Swanwick Lakes Nature Reserve, Swanwick Lakes Nature Reserve, Swanwick, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Forest School Training Level 3 Hampshire? - **A:** Forest School Training Level 3 Hampshire is organized by Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
