Types of activities offered

Bespoke Days

We use our tranquil surroundings and our unique blend of woodland skills and tasks, environmental ethics and creative activities to help teams look at how they work and communicate.

A package put together around your objectives.  After a prelimary meeting, a suggested programme of activities would be sent to you for approval.  Could be a mix of the types of activities below, could include some of the theoretical Myers Briggs / Belbin type of content!  Could be something suggested by yourselves.  We work with you to provide the type of day you need to fulfill your objectives.

Conservation Day

For up to 20 people, supervised by our Site Manager and Assistant. 

Tasks would depend on the size and mobility of group, time of year, priorities of site management but could be:

• pond clearance using a rowing boat and life jackets
• tree planting
• path clearance
