The Stick Man trail

Stick Man is coming to the forest in 2025!

Join Stick Man on a brand new forest adventure

Our new interactive family trail featuring Stick Man will be launching in February 2025 in a forest near you.

What to expect on the Stick Man trail

The trail will follow Stick Man on his journey as he tries to get home to the family tree. You'll be able to take part in lots of fun stick-based activities, discover tree-mendous facts and learn about forest wildlife along the way.

Once you’ve helped Stick Man find his way back home, there'll be a wax rubbing to complete in your adventure passport and the chance to take a picture with Stick Man in the family tree.

There will be a Stick Man trail pack to buy before you start to help you complete all the trail activities.

More information coming soon
