  Our Forest Skills Groups

We began running a series of these Forest Skills workshops in Craigmillar Castle Woodland between 2014 and 2015 with more sessions in 2016.
This gave BIG the opportunity to expand our activities to include working within the local woodland and provide a unique and valuable experience for the young people involved.
With the help of Dave Crosby from Tree-ditions young people from the local area were able to really get to know this local woodland as well as learning new skills while having a lot of fun.
​

We plan to run more in the future, if you are interested in children attending or you want to volunteer to assist then please get in touch via our contact page
