💚 BRICES WOODS IS BACK! 💚

☀️ After a glorious summer, we are SO excited to welcome you back into the woods this October - BROCKTOBER! 🦡 A little nod to badgers as we embrace everything autumn has to offer.

🌰 Go bonkers for conkers
🍁 Bathe in the autumn colour
🍎 Forage for fruity goodies
🍏🍯Celebrate Apple Day and Honey Day
🍄 Discover the wonderful world of fungi
🍿 And apparently… it’s Popcorn Poppin’ Month!

Honestly, that sounds like more than enough excuses to gather the family, pull on your wellies and get yourselves down to Brices Woods for some good old-fashioned, child-led fun in the woods. 🍁🌰🍄‍🟫🦡🍂🐾

There’ll be exploring, discovering, getting muddy, making memories and, most importantly, following wherever the woodland adventure takes us.

And… I’m VERY excited to be trying out our brand-new booking system! 🤩

The Forest School App 🌱, a fantastic resource created especially for Forest School leaders. It’s already making the behind-the-scenes organisation and paperwork so much easier (as a lifelong technophobe, that’s no small achievement!) 😂 I’m really looking forward to putting the booking side of it to the test and making it easier for you to find and book your Brices Woods sessions.

🥰 I can’t wait to welcome you all back for another season of woodland adventures. 🥰

Brocktober, here we come! 🦡🍂🌳

A slow Sunday morning, sunshine in the forecast, and elderflower blooming… it sounds like the perfect Forest School day. 🌿☀️

This weekend we’ll be celebrating the season by making elder beads and, if the weather plays along, creating magical sun pictures.

Join us for a morning of creativity, exploration, and all the little moments that make time spent outdoors so special. 🌼

“If children don't grow up knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it. And if they don't understand it, they won't protect it. And if they don't protect it, who will?” – David Attenborough 💚

This beautiful reminder is at the heart of everything we do at Brices Woods. 💚🥰

Through muddy boots 🥾, woodland adventures 🌿, bug hunts 🐛, campfires 🔥, creativity 🖌️, and outdoor play 💚, children build a lifelong connection with the natural world around them.

🥳 As we celebrate the inspiration of David Attenborough, we’re proud to give children the chance to explore, discover, and fall in love with nature! 💚🥰
The future of our planet starts with the next generation. 🌍💚

This Sunday we are going to make a campfire birthday cake and some nettle appreciation! (As promised 😘)

Join us Sunday mornings for our Forest School session and let your little explorers learn, grow, and thrive outdoors! 🥰

💚 Happy 100th Birthday Sir David 💚🥰

🌱🌞 Spring Has Sprung at Brice Woods! 🌞🌱

The weather has gone from brrrrr to boggy to blazing in a blink — which means it’s TREE PLANTING TIME!
NOW! 🌱🌳

We’re calling on all merry helpers (big and small!) to join us THIS Sunday at 10:30am for a wholesome morning of planting, digging at Brices Woods / Butts Green, Langley, Saffron Walden CB11 4RT.

📍 Grid Ref: TL45250 33875

There will be:
Campfire snacks
Hot chocolate
Bourbon biscuits
🪏 Shovels & trowels provided (but feel free to bring your own trusty tools!)
💪 And we’ll gladly accept extra brawn!

Bring the kids, bring your friends, bring your enthusiasm — the more hands the merrier. Let’s give these little trees the best start before spring bursts into full swing 🌼

If you’re planning to help, please drop a message so we know how many biscuits to pack!

See you under the trees! 🌳🌿
