Join us for our Autumn Experience week! Our Experience Weeks are a week-long immersion into afforestation, woodland creation and maintenance.

This week is a cumulation of planting, managing, learning, connecting and living. Trees and living together are the focus of the week. It is a pretty hard-core week of living and working outside.

On site we have camping facilities, hot water, shower, and warm spaces. Camping grounds and organic meals are provided (please note, no camping equipment is provided).
