Our story
Connecting people with nature
Nestled within nine acres of woodland and green space, we help people of all ages build knowledge, practical skills, health and well-being outdoors.
What began in 1923 as a children’s holiday camp has grown into a vibrant charity delivering outdoor education and forest school programmes. Our work includes environmental education, projects that tackle social isolation, and activities that support family engagement and those in need.
History comes alive here — old buildings, air-raid shelters and artefacts sit alongside woodland habitats, ponds, a bird hide, climbing trees, adventure ropes and gardens. And our sheep, ducks, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs and tortoises are a favourite with every visitor.
We’re governed by a dedicated board of trustees, led by experienced teaching staff and supported by a valued team of volunteers.
