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.

Worcester Volunteer Centre group


Once a month a group of people that access the Worcester Volunteer Centre join us at our woodland camp at Spetchley, Worcester. They get to learn about the ancient woodland and to have a go at different jobs that we do at Spetchley to manage the woodland, like coppicing. After a hard mornings work they get to have a well deserved cuppa, made on the camp fire. This photo shows the WVC group enjoying pre-work campfire cuppa whilst group leader Mike Maguire talks about health and safety rules for being in the woodland.
