Into the Woods

On a typical morning at Foothills Forest School, the day begins outside. Parents drop their children off at the playground or meet the teacher beneath the open sky at Montvale Springs. A story helps ground the group before they head into the woods, with boots crunching along gravel and dirt paths. From there, the forest becomes the classroom.
“It’s really kind of getting back to the root of childhood and letting kids lead that experience versus everything being adult-led,” said Katie Ballard, director of Foothills Forest School.
