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.

Reindeers made by the group



This is Ian with one of the 'herd' of reindeers that the WWP gang have made!
The reindeer bodies and heads are made out of ash and shaped with draw knifes on the shave horse. The legs, neck and antlers are made from coppiced hazel. The nose is made from hazel wood and shaped with a rounding tool before being painted red!  The reindeer will be sold at our market stall in Bewdley on the 4th & 18th December 2011  http://www.bewdley.org.uk/whats-on/?event=9748&d=4&m=12&y=2011
