Following calls from Forest Schools around the world, Forest School Day extended our welcome to international Forest Schools. I am so excited to share that Forest School Day is celebrated right across the world. To name a few there are multiple celebrations in The Philippines, The USA, Canada, Brazil, Finland, Singapore, Australia and Turkey.
We asked "How will you celebrate on Forest School day" ?

October 9th happens to be the last day before Thanksgiving here in Canada. Our Forest and Nature school takes place in a historic park that used to be a settle village for Chinese Miners in Cumberland in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Although none of the buildings exist any more, there are many apple trees growing in the forest, left over from their time.
So this week, we have harvested apples, will process them and enjoy a yummy treat together on Friday to celebrate. Usually, we celebrate Thanksgiving (also because it’s this time of the school year where the group comes together and finds it’s groove), but we can also celebrate Forest School Day!
Thank you for organizing! Perhaps next year we can organize something bigger!
