Wild about Woodlands
As part of this year's Wildlife Week, we are excited to announce for the second year running a part funded 6-day Forest School programme for ages 5-9.
With thanks to the Youth Commission for Guernsey and Alderney, along with sponsorship from island resident Robin Whicker, our very own Forest School Leader is inviting Alderney’s young people to journey into the trees settling beneath the Sycamore canopy to explore and discover Alderney’s woodland.
