Kansas has outdoors. Might not have forests, but there is still benefit from being outside. I think they are called Forest Schools because they started in Europe / Scandinavia, which are forested places. Doesn't seem like there is any reason the concept couldn't be adapted to other climates.
- madhadron 7y agoI think "forest school" is kind of a mistranslation of the German "Waldkindergarten." "Wald" is strictly "forest" but idiomatically means the great outdoors, the wilds. Kind of a similar confounding as the word for woman and wife being the same.
