Forest Learning Collective
Our Story
The Forest Learning Collective (FLC) was created during the summer of 2019 by the parents of children who had grown up in the forest programs at Lime Hollow Nature Center and wanted to continue that learning, along with homeschooling. Informally, that group became FLC's inaugural volunteer board, responsible for everything needed to get a program started in September 2019.
​
The mission of the Forest Learning Collective is to foster a deep connection to nature in children by providing child-led experiences and creative freedom. We are committed to creating an environment that fosters a culture of inclusion, diversity, equity and a sense of belonging for the families in our community.
​
Our Guides support children’s learning in nature by facilitating emergent, place-based explorations, modeling respect to all creatures, those we encounter, and each other. We mentor peacemaking and gratitude.
​
FLC occurs on gifted wonderful and expansive lands adjacent to Lime Hollow Nature Center. As we move forward, we're excited to find our forever home where we can put down more permanent roots.
