Young Foresters is a volunteering and adventure club for young people aged 12-18. Our Young Foresters have many adventures in the Forest as well as taking part in a number of forestry and conservation tasks: take action to combat climate change, benefit from spending time outdoors, improve your physical and mental health, forge new friendships and gain valuable work experience.
The young people attend independently supported by our experienced staff.
Mini Foresters is our monthly club for families with children between the ages 4-11 where children can enjoy activities in one of out wonderful woodland spaces. Each month the activities will change and reflect the seasons, the flora and fauna and the history and geography of the area. Come and join us for fires, dens, tool use, bushcraft skills, wildlife and the odd toasted marshmallow.
Our entry ticket includes up to five people, at least one of whom is an adult responsible for the group. We only have a limited number of tickets available as we want to ensure everyone has the best experience of the Forest.
Step into the stunning autumnal beauty of the Forest and experience the magic of the season! Join Forest Ranger Aaron for an exclusive two-hour guided walk through the vibrant Heart of England Forest Arboretum, where the trees are putting on their most spectacular display of the year.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast or just looking for a peaceful autumn stroll, this walk will provide an enriching experience amidst some of the most breathtaking autumnal landscapes in the UK. Perfect for photographers, families, and anyone eager to learn more about the Forest.
Explore the significance of remembrance and ceremony through the lens of natural burial, guided by Alne Wood Park Natural Burial Ground Manager James as he weaves together history and modern practices. From the deep roots of human rituals to their evolving role today, you'll gain insight into how planning a funeral in advance can shape not only personal legacies but also foster both social and ecological well-being.
Please note that this session discusses death and funerals in a practical and direct manner, so that should be taken into consideration when deciding whether to attend.
After spending some time foraging in the surrounding woods we will use our finds to create a festive wreath. Using willow to create the base of your wreath you will then use your foraged materials to decorate it along with other materials and if you have anything you’d like to bring along from home please do.
All workshop materials and tea/coffee/biscuits are included in the price.
