Wild Wood Activities

Hello and welcome to the Wild Wood Activities website!

Wild Wood Activities was set up by Lauren Stevens in August 2008. Lauren believes that everyoneshould feel confident in accessing their local outdoor environment, and making the most of the learning and play opportunities that this offers. To enable people to gain a better understanding of Forest Schools, Lauren will be running Forest School Taster days (only £30 per person, book before April 23 for a 10% early songbird discount!).
Come prepared to be inspired!
