I have been part of the Green Herons for 4 years. I like it because we hang out with animals and plants and fungus. I learned lots of new weird words like mycelium, taxonomy, and symbiosis. My favorite part is learning about the full moons and the calendar on the turtles carapace.

My child has been coming to The Green Herons for several years now. She comes home with a head full of wild nature information! The Green Herons provides a safe space for the children to learn. Our child has special needs but you would never suspect it at forest school because of the way Lindsay includes everyone. Our child is happier and healthier since attending forest school. She has made friends, which turned into after school friends, which turned into birthday parties and camping trips. I cannot say enough about the way Lindsay teaches and how she gets down to the kids levels to find out how they learn individually and how she can help them reach their goals. The kids days are loaded with nature walks, identifying native species and learning about our native animals, all in a way that is fun so they retain the information. She holds graduation nights, which is special for the kids and they work on projects to present to the families. Sending our child to Lindsay’s was the best decision we’ve made as parents. Lindsay is such a special teacher, and truly and amazing human being. We are so glad that we found The Green Herons!
