School visits to Great Wood
Discover Great Wood with your class
Located in the beautiful Quantock Hills and within easy reach of Bridgwater and Taunton, Great Wood offers fantastic learning opportunities for people of all ages and abilities.
A classroom with no walls
The living, breathing forest is a versatile learning space, with room to think and space to explore. Learning in a forest is also a practical way to immerse your class in a range of subjects. Spark students' imagination by delivering a lesson on any topic, using the setting as inspiration.
Plan sensory exploration or wildlife and habitat spotting with younger children. Older children can see how ecosystems work, undertake field studies or explore the science behind the tree lifecycle.
Our free downloadable resources and lesson plans are available to help you plan your next trip.
Discover sustainable forest management in action
We grow, shape and care for forests, managing landscapes for people, wildlife and timber production.
