We are offering ten activity days this summer to teach skills that will be practically useful and will build confidence, teamwork and will develop environmental awareness. Learning more about the rural environment we live in, what food grows here and how to enjoy and use the countryside around town. It will cost £25 to take part in each activity day although we do have some subsidised places (£5 and £15 depending on income — please get in touch for details) There will be two group leaders qualified and experienced in woodland skills and working with children.
