Forest School Shut Down at Anembo Park | Sydney News

Forest School SA’s beloved outdoor education program at Anembo Park has been abruptly shut down by Mount Barker District Council over safety and property concerns—including damaged trees, fires, and swings dangerously close to a freeway. Founder Bell Gower is stunned, saying they were awaiting approval to continue; the council insists it’s only halting operations at the site, not the organization. Families are heartbroken, calling the program vital for their children’s learning and emotional well-being. A temporary solution with Scouts is set to resume classes next week, while the council pledges to support nature-based education—and the outcome of Forest School SA’s formal application will decide if the program can return home.
