The Worcestershire Woodland Project (WWP) offers participants an opportunity to experience working in an outdoor woodland setting, learning new skills, building social skills and raising levels of confidence. The project aims to equip participants with vocational skills to use in the workplace whilst also involving people in conservation work and improving levels of physical and mental health and wellbeing through the use of social forestry. Activities range from coppicing, weaving fences, pole lathe wood turning, cooking on camp fires to walking through the woodland learning the history and dynamics of the woodland environment. Our base camp is in Churchill Wood, Spetchley. Materials are sourced from the wood itself.

Traditional tool demo



Chris Atkins demonstrates the use of the Millers Falls Boring Machine. Which is far from 'boring'! This rare tool hails from Massachusetts, USA. It helps us to create angled bore holes.
Some of the group learning about the traditional hand tools and techniques.
