Wild Woods Workshops - what else do we offer…?
Practical skills, nature connection, and outdoor experiences for groups and 1:1
Our Wild Woods Workshops are flexible, engaging sessions designed for secondary schools, community groups, home education groups, and staff teams.
They can be run for small groups (up to six participants) or adapted for one-to-one sessions, and each workshop is tailored to suit the needs, pace, and interests of the people taking part. Sessions can be either half-day or full-day bookings.
Coming soon - adult 1:1 workshops and therapeutic services for professionals who work within the education or child care sectors. Sessions will be open at evenings, weekends, and during the school holidays. Watch this space…
