This is one of a series of events that we have been invited to join by Rainbow Canopy, the Forestry Commission’s LGBTQ+ Network.  The full list is below.

Parking fees are waived and if your group requires transport to a site they may be able to help with the arrangements. While their funding is limited, they may also be able to provide some light refreshments or packed lunch depending on the level of interest.

The visit could take the shape of a wilderness walk or a wellbeing walk, and will be guided by one of our knowledgeable members of staff. They want you to create meaningful connections to the forest, and hope that the day will be filled with moments of joy, reflection, connection, and camaraderie.

Proposed events:

• Alice Holt Forest, Farnham, Hampshire, 22 June
• Salcey Forest, Northamptonshire, 29 June
• Whinlatter Forest, Keswick, Cumbria, 30 June
• Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, 13th July
• Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest, Flimwell, Kent, 20 July
• Hicks Lodge, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire, 21 July
• Westonbirt, Gloucestershire, Tetbury, 11 August

If any of these are of interest, please get in touch with the contact below. Some details may change. Please note that, to avoid confusion, the 'Join Event' button has been disabled as more information will be sent by the Forestry Commission to those signed up with them.
