Feel Good in the Forest is a supportive programme of activities for people with mild-to-moderate health conditions, or who are looking to improve their health and wellbeing, to meet new people and enjoy being outdoors.
People can self-refer or be referred by a social prescribing link worker or support organisation. We were delighted to be one of three projects shortlisted for the Best Nature Based Social Prescribing Project in the International Social Prescribing Awards 2024.
Across our woodlands in the National Forest, Forestry England offer a variety of activities as part of the Feel Good in the Forest project. These activities are free to take part in and include optional time at the end for refreshments and socialising.
Forestry England manage 17 woodlands across Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire within the boundaries of the National Forest. Make sure to check the woodland each activity is in before booking!
