Learning at Salcey Forest

Acorn are the designated learning provider on behalf of Forestry England at Salcey Forest. We have been working at Salcey Forest for over 10 years and have developed a fantastic knowledge of Salcey, its environment, and the flora and fauna that can be found here. Our team of designated and passionate forest school and bushcraft leaders have a combined experience of almost 40 years of running forest school and outdoor learning sessions at Salcey and many other woodlands in our region.

For more information on what we can offer, please check out our 2021 Price List or click on one of the pages below, or contact us on 07872 470266 or email us at [email protected]
