47. Let's Go to Forest School! (with Felix Rowan-Young)

Pangolin: The Conservation Podcast

Today Jack is joined by the amazing Felix Rowan-Young, a Forest School Leader and member of the Chester Zoo Youth Board! He is here to chat about what forest schools are, how they work, and how beneficial they can be for young people! We also discuss his degree in Zoo Management, how he made the jump from Primary School Teaching to fully outdoor education and... how to train a lion fish?

It is also worth noting that this is the first part of a two part special and next week Felix will be back to discuss his work with the Chester Zoo Youth Board. Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out!
