For Individuals and Families

Our  Community in Nature programme is for families, including young children as well as for individuals, promoting and developing positive health and wellbeing through the provision of a wide range of educational and social activities and opportunities in the woodland. The programme is by donation, it is great fun and children accompanied by their parent or guardian are included. "Nature is the giver, a true friend and sustainer"
