It all started when…

All Seasons Forest School was established in 2016 by Carrie Roet. Carrie trained as a Forest School Leader in 2014 inspired by the methodology and having seen first hand working with children and young people, the benefits of being outside.

Soon after she set up All Seasons Forest School delivering forest school and outdoor learning sessions for primary schools, youth groups and holiday Wild Play in and around Stroud.  In 2019 she co-founded Into-Nature CIC to provide greater opportunities for children, families and individuals living in Gloucestershire to benefit from accessing community, nature play, wellbeing and skills opportunities.

Carrie  trained in Contemporary Textile Practice, where she developed a love of exploring materials and open-ended process.  During this time she ran an arts project in a local primary school, which kindled a love of working with children. After graduating, Carrie continued to work with children and young people and later young adults therapeutic gardening. 

As a Therapeutic Forest approved practitioner Carrie passionately believes that the Forest School model provides the opportunity for all children to grow in confidence, competence, autonomy and meaningful connection to the world around them. 

All Seasons co-hosts events in collaboration with other local practitioners, drawing upon the wealth of knowledge we have locally to provide experiences for children and families.
