Not sure what the data source is for that map - but in my small part of Norfolk I know of 4 forest schools my kids could go to - plus if you click on the lower of the 2 blue dots over the map of the UK, it opens out to show you 61 schools. Also a friend in Sheffield runs https://www.forestschools.com/ https://www.forestschools.com/ - they have a few of their own schools in the area, and then run training sessions for people that want to run their own. Most of his training is in the UK, but it is a full time job for him and his team, so I can only assume either there are loads of forest schools opening up, or people just like doing the training and then apply the learnings to 'normal' school processes. My kids school is a standard state school, but they all do one day a week 'forest school' from the woods that form part of the school grounds. I doubt they are on the 'forest schools' list.
