the forest  te ngahere

We look to the forest as a metaphor for expressing the way decision-making happens within the Learning Environment.

 

The organisation as a whole is known as The Forest. It is made up of project-orientated teams that we call Trees. For example, the Thriving Kai Tree manages the food aspects of the farm.

The Forest is stewarded by our charity, which enables the fulfillment of our primary charitable purpose: offering accessible learning.

“You can think of the organization as an organism within the ecosystem of its external environment, as well as an ecosystem itself within its own boundaries, since it too consists of organisms (people) interacting with each other and their shared environment.”

“The new science keeps reminding us that in this participative universe, nothing lives alone. Everything comes into form because of relationships… If we are interested in affecting change, it is crucial to remember that we are working with webs of relations, not with machines.”
