I stood at the top of Beacon Hill. Below me, trees and fields glittered in the winter sunshine, and the view spread out to the distant horizon. I drank it all in. I’d made it. This was the eastern end of the National Forest Way.
This year, as part of World Mental Health Day, The National Forest look at the healing properties of nature and why being in the outdoors is good for us and our children.
Pupils from inner city Slater Primary School in Leicester visited Shobnall Primary School in the National Forest to experience forest school activities and outdoor learning.
We are very excited to be able to announce the six artists and groups who have been successful in the second round of National Forest Art Grants, which are designed to support the arts sector within the National Forest.
We’re pleased to announce that we have launched a new grant scheme aimed at supporting the health and wellbeing of those who live in the National Forest.
