About the event

Teen bushcraft and Warden for a day: Learn how to collect green wood and shape it using a selection of woodworking tools such as saws, knives and drills, then get a taste for the life of a warden on our reserves with practical conservation work including dead hedge laying and insect home building. Enjoy time spent with others, make connections with other individuals and with nature.

This is an all day event so please ensure your child has at least a packed lunch, and snacks if they will need them.

All our sessions will be held entirely outside, so please ensure your child(ren) come with plenty of drink. Please ensure they are dressed appropriately for the weather (hat scarf, suncream, waterproofs as appropriate to the season) and be aware that it can be a tad cooler in the woods than elsewhere. Closed toed shoes and long trousers must be worn as there are stinging nettles and midges in the woods and they will not be permitted to use tools without covered legs and toes.​​​​​​

All young people must be dropped off by an adult, who must confirm their emergency contact details with the member of staff at the arrival point, before departing along with confirming who will be collecting said child.
