Would you like to run your own business offering Forest School or Nature Based outdoor sessions?
Maybe you are already running sessions at a school or club, but are curious about what it would take to work for yourself or run your own organisation?
This course is designed to take you through all the steps you need to consider.
From knowing what equipment and insurance you would need to have in place, to understanding the tax and business structure options and how to market your sessions, create a realistic pricing structure, hire staff and rent land.
Taught by Marina Robb, this course will enable you to make a clear plan of action.
I'm Marina Robb

I'm a national expert in nature based education and therapeutic interventions and my aim is to share my knowledge and experience with teachers and others wishing to work outside the classroom.
