the Deep Green Bush-School
The Deep Green Bush-School was open from January 2017 to August 2020, on the edge of Auckland. We were a school based on promoting ecological intelligence, critical thinking, and social and emotional intelligence.
Unfortunately we are no longer running. I am maintaining this site to help remind people how humans evolved to live and learn, and that given the state of the world, we urgently need to think differently about how we're living.

Parents are still the biggest influence on children's lives. While the DGBS is now closed, YOU can still promote a close connection with nature!
