Webinar: Introduction to growing Forests from Seed

This webinar led by Pippa Johns & Anna Richardson introduces our Forest From Seed programme - a nature connected approach to gathering tree seeds and growing trees with children.

You will learn:

• The practicals of seed gathering, germinating, planting and tending trees How to develop knowledge and care for the trees through story, song and craft to create a meaningful relationship that deepens connection, restoring our land and placing reciprocit at the heart of our relationship with nature.
• How and why the heritage knowledge of foods and medicines from the trees are an important part of restoring connection.
• How to gives back to nature through reciprocal practices ie. foraging, seed gathering, tree planting, songs, games, storytelling.

Suitable for: adults interested in tree planting, teachers, parents or those working outdoors with children in a nature connection setting.

The Forest From Seed project works with children and their communities to gather seeds from local trees, learning about their lore and ecology through song and  story, games and crafts, wild food and medicine making. By experiencing and receiving the gifts of the trees through a head, heart and hands relationship, the impulse to give back is cultivated. The children then learn how to plant the seeds. Over the year to come, they tend them in a tree nursery as they grow into saplings. One day the children will plant these trees out in a Children’s Forest, tending them with their communities for the children now and yet to come.
