School visits to Wyre Forest

Discover Wyre Forest with your class

Wyre Forest, situated in the West Midlands near Kidderminster, offers fantastic learning opportunities for people of all ages and abilities, including the opportunity to become a ranger for the day with our new Ranger in a Bag activity.

A classroom with no walls

The living, breathing forest is a versatile learning space, with room to think and space to explore. 

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.  

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.

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.

At Wyre Forest, you'll see what sustainable forest management is, and why it's so important, through hands-on activities.
