Need to rent a small wood

Hi I'm looking to try and rent a small woodland area in Bath or surrounding area. As I want to start a forest school. As I believe children learn a lot from the out doors. It covers alot of things mental health , EYFS, and so much more. Its just finding the right spot. If anyone can help or point me in the right way to rent a small bit of land with a wood , that would be amazing .

Leg-work IMO. I rented woodland to a similar operation. I met them through Bushcraft contacts. I had a spare piece of woodland and was suppportive to your type of learning so the two worked well. Present your case to a Landowner and unless hge/she/or their agent are completely dissinterested you may move forward.
I wish you well.

Thank you for your reply. We are looking into lots of different ways to help us to get some woodland. I just think being outside for children is the best thing .

Are there any public parks with bits of woodland attached locally
Try the local authority ?

Ive got that on my todo list. Thank you. Everyone has to start somewhere, we only decided on Wednesday that we were finally going for it. To help the children.

Our local park has areas set up for a classroom and threes always hoards of kids sitting on the logs being taught or running around the woods looking for stuff

good luck
