 Bat & Owl Prowl for School of the Wild October 2014

Wow. What a great evening. Heard lots of bats and then spent half an hour in a woodland clearing surrounded by tawny owls. Watching one fly over our heads and then sit in a tree looking down at us was an amazing experience. Thanks! Emma Ryan

School Visits:

I just wanted to write a quick note to you guys to tell you about the changes I have noticed in your Friday group. Working next to you on our allotment plot each Friday it is audibly significant the difference the weeks have made to the group of lads you are working with. At the start, the shouting and screeching was incredible as they made their presence very much known in their environment. Just by the sounds they made I could tell how uncomfortable and nervous they were. And it is through the sound of the group that I experience the difference now after 8 or so weeks. They are now a group that is listening, talking, learning and playing calmly and thoughtfully. It is easy to interact with them while they are playing wolves and deer, and I can see their newfound self-confidence and growing self-respect. It’s a real pleasure to observe these changes in the group  and put it down to your patience and your certainty that the work you are doing will have lasting effects. Keep at it!
