What We Do

​

​

We aim to weave ecology, craft and community together in exploration and support of the natural world. The space is used throughout the circle of the year as we hold community gatherings, education and tending events to celebrate and share the wonderful woodland and community of life that it draws together.

 

If you are interested in using the space for educational, therapeutic or artistic work and group workshops, please be in touch.

Every so often we will send you our newsletter with tales from the woods, what we've been up to and detail of our events and happenings.

Seasonal Family Celebrations

We host welcoming and warming events in the woods throughout the seasons to celebrate the turning of the year. Join us with friends or family to share time in the woods at your own pace. We offer a selection of activities to get involved in or you can hang out in a hammock or sit by the fire to take in the peace and wonder of the woods. 

​

Children's Forest
Imagining a future for the good of all life, we started a 'Children's Forest', planting trees in 2020 with native trees from The Woodland Trust and our own farm grown saplings from seed.  As we nurture and tend these young trees, we hold a vision of creating a sanctuary for the children of all species, for generations to come. 

​

Forest School

Our local primary school run Forest School sessions here too. Forest School is an inspirational process that offers everyone; young and old, regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees.
