Cambium Sustainable Newsletter - Spring 2020
Welcome to the Cambium Sustainable Spring Newsletter
Hi, we're glad you're here.
These are challenging times to be sure, thanks for taking the time to engage with us. We have put together another collection of articles, research and useful information to give you something to focus on during this downtime. We truly believe in the importance of reflective practice and continuing professional development and we want to share that with you.
Research
We've compiled a list of interesting articles and research from recent publications around the world to keep you up to date with the latest developments.
Emergence Magazine - Trees. A new online publication that just happens to be focussed on one of our favourite subjects - trees!
The Hare and the Tortoise go to Forest School: taking the scenic route to academic attainment via emotional wellbeing outdoors. A great piece of research from 2018
Forest Schooled | About Forest School - A great examination of the meaning of Forest School from our friend Caylin at Forest Schooled. There are some fantastic resources on her blog too and some new digital Reflective Learning Packs for your ongoing professional development during this downtime.
The Value of Play by Peter Gray - One of our favourite writers on Play, a really interesting read and so relevant to Forest School practice!
Case study - Working with Challenging Behaviour and Neurodiversity in the Outdoors
This is a brand new accredited Level 3 course, developed by our Associate Trainers from Muddy Feet Training and Brightwood Forest School. This case study explains how our outdoor course helps students attend school, engage with learning and increase staff confidence.

Upcoming Events from Cambium and our Associate Trainers
Due to the current restrictions, many of our face to face CPD opportunities have been postponed for now. However, we are working on some really exciting online projects which will enable our learners to extend and expand their skills whilst unable to work outdoors with groups.
Watch this Space!
Happy to help.
We'd love your feedback on this new publication. Have you found it useful? Would you like more? What could we cover in future newsletters?
