Dear Members and Friends,

Greetings on the Winter solstice. 

We hope you are keeping well. This past year has been an exciting one for Forest School in Ireland and we have seen  real growth  in our movement right across the country.  That means we are all tired ( but satisfied) and so let’s use  these darker months to rest and restore our  energy. The IFSA ACORN especially sends our heartfelt good wishes to those of you who have experienced sadness over this past year. As we pass the winter solstice, we know brighter days are just around the corner, and nature is always there to accompany us on our journey, wherever that may lead.

Every good wish,

The IFSA ACORN
