At McWilliams Heritage Farm, Folk & Forest School, childhood should be wild, free, and wonder-filled. Our farm and forest school allows children to explore, create, and connect with nature. Whether climbing trees, building shelters, tending the farm, or gathering around a campfire, every day is an adventure in play-based learning, sustainability, and nature connection.
