The early years section of an outdoor forest school which was on the verge of closure has announced it has been saved.
Beccles Forest School works to create a space for children to understand the growing need to create a relationship with the natural world.
In December it announced that it was closing the early years section due to financial issues.
It had led to parents embarking on a fundraising and recruitment drive to try and save the section.
