Dreaming about starting a forest school, microschool, nature preschool, farm school, homeschool enrichment, or other nature-based education program but aren't sure where to begin?

Join ROOTS Farm & Forest School founders Talon + Travis for a free live class exploring what it actually takes to move from an idea to a functioning, sustainable program.

We'll cover the foundational pieces behind getting started, including vision, program models, space, finances, systems, marketing, community partnerships, and launch planning—while sharing lessons we've learned building ROOTS and helping other founders launch programs of their own.

You'll leave with greater clarity around your idea and the next steps needed to move forward.

12 Sessions | 18 Hours

We built ROOTS from the ground up. Now we’ll help you build yours.

One 60-Minute Private Virtual Sessions 

A focused 1:1 strategy session for founders and educators who are starting, growing or problem-solving within a forest school, microschool, nature preschool, farm school, homeschool enrichment program or other nature-based education program.

Before your session, you'll complete a brief intake form identifying your program, current stage, biggest questions and areas where you need support. We'll review your responses ahead of time so we can spend our time together focused on strategy, problem-solving and actionable next steps.

Your session can focus on areas such as:

• Program model + vision

• Startup planning

• Pricing + funding

• Enrollment + marketing

• Operations + systems

• Staffing + retention

• Curriculum + pedagogy

• Infrastructure + site development

• Community partnerships

• Program growth + sustainability

• Working through a specific challenge or decision

You'll leave with greater clarity and concrete next steps for moving forward.

Three 60-Minute Private Virtual Sessions 

For founders who need more than a single strategy conversation.

This package includes three private 60-minute sessions that allow us to dig deeper into your program, work through challenges over time and support you as you begin implementing your plans.

We'll start with an intake form so we understand where your program currently stands, where you're trying to go and what obstacles or decisions you're navigating.

From there, your three sessions can be used to build, troubleshoot and refine different areas of your program over time.

Ideal for founders who are:

• Moving from idea toward launch

• Preparing to open a new program

• Growing an existing program

• Adding a new location or program model

• Reworking systems, staffing, curriculum or operations

• Navigating enrollment or sustainability challenges

• Looking for ongoing strategic guidance while implementing their plans
