Nature Playgroup - Where it All Began with Vicci Oliver
For many of us, Playgroup is where our journeys start. For me, playgroup was my weekly anchor for the first five years in my new role as a mother and, I guess, is the reason that Wildlings Forest School and our Raising Wildlings Podcast came into being! Come with me as I share my Nature Playgroup Journey.

👉 Guest Details
Vicci Oliver and Nicki Farrell are adventurous nature play makers, risk-takers, children’s rights advocates and the co-founders of Wildlings Forest School. We are the hosts of the ‘Raising Wildlings’ podcast and we put the dirt back in childhood.
During any Wildlings Forest School program, you are likely to find Wildlings up trees, sliding down mud slides, whittling with pocket knives, lighting fires and building rafts. We let kids, be kids - because children can’t learn to protect nature if they’ve never had a childhood in it.
