Thanks so much to everyone who came on the last Lost Farms walk this year. We explored the ruins in the woods and ended up back at site for tea & cake. We’re hoping to re-run the walks next summer for anyone who missed them :)

The next nature journaling workshop is just over a month away (28th September). It's such a lovely, creative session and you don't need to be 'good' at writing. Run by local author, Sarah Hunter, this enables you to try some simple, mindful exercises. wildwooddays.co.uk/event/nature-j…

Such beautiful weather for our open day. Forging, wood-turning and NatureWell workshops running all day :)

NEW! Lots of you have asked about a woodworking course and we are excited to welcome Shaun Roberts as a guest tutor who will be running a fortnightly session on Sunday afternoons starting 15th September - limited spaces available! Book yours here: wildwooddays.co.uk/event/woodwork…

Numbers of many arachnids peak in late summer, which is how harvestmen got their name. Eight-legged but not spiders, these wonderful creatures have long, spindly limbs holding up a body that always seems much too small. Harvestmen lack venom and eat just about anything.

We still have 3 spaces on our woodwork course starting this Sunday afternoon (1:30 - 4pm). Suitable for beginners & improvers (for ages 14 and up) it's a great opportunity to learn some practical skills and make a unique item by hand. Find out more here: wildwooddays.co.uk/event/woodwork…

Beautiful day for two fairy parties! Happy birthday to Lottie and to Elfie and thank you for celebrating with us 🙂 🧚‍♀️🌳

Spiky cases, gleaming seeds, horse chestnuts, with their mahogany-bright conkers, are the very essence of autumn. The conkers of the horse chestnut are collected by children everywhere for competitions.

Chrysolina americana, common name rosemary beetle. They are usually found in the southern counties of the UK but a milder climate is bringing them further north. If you have rosemary in your garden you might spot some beetles munching away.

Four places have just become available on this Saturday morning's herbal medicine walk through Brinscall woods (10 - 12). Book here if you'd like to join us: wildwooddays.co.uk/event/herbal-m…

Among our native trees, the silver birch puts on one of the most spectacular autumn displays. Golden leaves provide a beautiful contrast with pale, peeling bark. In a breeze, the burnished foliage dances and shimmers.
