Teacher Kayla Nickells removes wet hats and gloves from students after a hike at Foxtail Forskola at Earthstar Farms in Whitefish on Wednesday, Oct. 31. Foxtail Forskola is a Scandinavian-inspired forest school where nature is the classroom. Children ages 3-6 spend nearly all of the school day outdoors learning social and emotional readiness through free play and nature-based activities on a 35-acre organic farm.
