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. The club runs on the fourth Saturday of every month.
The Heart of England Forest site Gorcott Hill is a beautiful 62 acre site near Redditch. The site contains semi-natural woodland, hedgerows, grassland and ponds, as well as a vast array of wildlife.
Join us for a relaxing morning of creativity and sweetness in the heart of nature. Get ready to unleash your artistic side as you draw and paint the beautiful scenery around Gorcott Hill.
You will get the opportunity to create a sketch inspired by the landscape and nature and create a mix media sketch using watercolour pastels and acrylics.
No experience is necessary, just bring your enthusiasm and we'll provide everything you need. All workshop materials, tea and coffee, delicious cake, and a knowledgeable teacher are included in the price.
Mini Foresters is our monthly club in the Forest where children can enjoy activities in our wonderful woodland at Gorcott Hill . 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,
The group is intended for families with children between the ages 4-11 and runs on the last Saturday of every month all year round. Our entry ticket includes up to 5 people, at least one of whom is an adult responsible for the group.

Public access is a key area of focus for the Heart of England Forest, we want members of the public to enjoy visiting the Forest, and ensure they have a pleasant visit. During the summer months, the key growing time for plants, we need to cut back bushes and scrub along our footpaths to ensure that our footpaths are suitable for all members of the public to use.
Please wear suitable outdoor footwear, such as walking boots or wellies. For sunny days we recommend suncream and a hat. Please also bring your own work gloves, we recommend builders gloves with a rubber palm. If you do not have your own gloves we are able to provide these. We will provide all the tools and equipment required for this activity.
