We’re delighted to share that the Irish Forest School Association 2027 Calendar is now available to order.

Forest School Through the Seasons follows the turning year as it’s experienced outdoors. Hazel catkins and snowdrops give way to bluebells and hawthorn blossom. Summer brings frogs and snails in the long grass, and autumn brings mushrooms, blackberries and holly. Robins and owls keep watch through it all. The beautifully illustrated cover gathers these moments into a single wheel of the seasons, and each month inside invites you to slow down and notice what’s changing around you.

Nature words in Irish, month by month

Each month includes a selection of nature words in Irish. It’s a gentle way to bring the language into everyday seasonal noticing, whether that happens at home, in the classroom or out on a Forest School session. The calendar would suit a kitchen wall, a staff room or a setting’s noticeboard, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves being outdoors with children.

Celebrating ten years

This calendar arrives as the IFSA marks ten years, from 2016 to 2026. It’s a small celebration of the outdoor learning community that has grown across Ireland over the past decade, and of the natural world that sits at the heart of Forest School.
