I’ve had some friendly hikers ask why there is a trailer, and who this group of kids is on Mondays and Wednesdays - we are Forest School, an organization that s...tarted in Owen Sound and has spread south as it becomes more popular. I’m the principal, and I’m a Goderich resident. We have two different groups of kids aged 4 - 9 who spend one day a week outside playing, exploring, and learning about nature. The staff are all educated professionals with teaching experience. We spend all day outside, even at lunch, and plan to continue the program through winter. We have helped clear the trail after the storms, and I’m having them pick up loose sticks and branches along the path. Last week we planted a dozen maple and sycamore trees around the edge of the forest that were donated by the town. We had an arrangement with the Knights of Columbus to have access to a small room for storage, but COVID regulations prevented us, which is why we have a trailer and a portable washroom. Our hope is that we get kids interested in nature and more aware of the outside world. I drove my son to the Kincardine school last year, and he enjoyed it so much that I worked behind the scenes to expand to Goderich. We are happy to bring the program to town, and with so many restrictions on indoor activities, it is a healthy reprieve for a lot of these kids who are missing socializing due to homeschooling or missing extra curricular clubs and sports. Already we have heard from parents that their kids are taking them back on the weekend to show them the trail. I’ve enjoyed meeting all the hikers and dog walkers. Thanks for your support in getting a new generation to enjoy hiking, and if you know of any kids who would like to sign up, we have room on both days!
