Ranger-Led Activities
Unique to Forest Holidays’ sites is the range of ‘Forest
Experience’ activities; Led by our Forest Rangers who have inside
knowledge of the forest and its inhabitants you’ll see things you
could well miss on your own. They know what to look for and
can read the woodland environment like a book, although the book
changes its title often, depending on the season and what’s
happening that day.
Here’s just a few of the Ranger-led activities available at all
our sites.
Birds on Tour
From owls to birds of prey, there’s a world going on above your
head. Our Rangers are familiar with all the inhabitants of
the treetops and can help you differentiate the year-round
population from the seasonal visitors.
Night Watch
At night the forest becomes a magical place with an entirely
different cast of animals awakening as others go
to sleep. Learn all about Moths, owls, badgers and a whole host of
other creatures that live their lives bathed in moonlight.
Tree Stalking
On a stalking trip you’ll discover what trees actually do,
their role in nature, their importance to planet Earth. You’ll also
get the chance to identify the insects and animals that make each
tree their home.
Awesome Animals
Wonderful but elusive deer. Badger families playing without a
care. Mini beasts crawling around the forest floor.
The Rangers
Can explain what makes the forest habitat particularly suitable
for each different kind of animal. If you’re lucky you may just
capture one, with your camera of course!
The Forest Awakes
As the first rays of the sun begin to penetrate the canopy,
flowers raise their heads for the day and the forest creatures
start to stir, and of course the birdsong is at its most
enthusiastic.
This is a unique opportunity to see a side to the forest that
most visitors miss.
