Seed + Root Nature School CIC
Connecting people to nature and community.
Conserving our natural resources, habitats, and cultural heritage.
Cultivating creativity, biodiversity, and positive mental well-being.
Seed + Root Nature School is situated within an exclusive site on the beautiful Dinefwr National Trust Estate; a place rich with ancient trees, wildlife, and history. From this inspiring setting, we run our regular sessions where children can play, explore, and help shape the future of the site itself. Keep an eye out for our upcoming events and seasonal celebrations as we grow together in this special place.
Seed + Root Nature School CIC is run by Philippa, a qualified Forest School Leader and a team of volunteers.
• Earth Guardians - Mondays 11am-2pm
Rooted in an ethos of experiential learning, child-led discovery, and deep respect for the natural world, our Earth Guardians sessions nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Through hands-on experiences like den building, fire lighting, tool use, nature crafts, storytelling, and wild play, children learn by doing — building real-life skills and meaningful connections with each other and the environment.
These are mixed-age, inclusive sessions where Home Educated/EOTAS children aged 4–10 learn together in a supportive, collaborative environment. Younger and older siblings are always welcome, and under 4s attend free of charge.
• Tree Keepers Family Session - Saturdays 2pm-4pm
Our family session runs on a Saturday afternoon from 2pm-4pm and aimed towards children up to age 6.
Join us for an fun and enriching forest school session for all the family, held at our site on the Dinefwr estate. These sessions are designed to bring families together through experiential learning, playful exploration, and connection with the natural world.
Each week, children and grown-ups alike can enjoy:
🌿 Nature-based crafts using natural materials
🔥 Campfire activities – learn to light fires safely, cook simple snacks, or gather and share stories
🌲 Free play encouraging creativity, confidence, and resilience
Our sessions are rooted in a forest school ethos, nurturing curiosity and care for the environment while supporting social skills and emotional wellbeing.
