Explore, learn, and enjoy
Woodlands have provided inspiration to poets and artists for generations. But with our busy lives we sometimes need a little help to appreciate these wonderful wild places. Here is where you can find your own inspiration to experience woodlands in different ways and hopefully learn to love these nature rich places.
Taking time to notice what is around you on a woodland walk will add enjoyment and help to still a busy mind. Here are some useful guides of what to look out for on your next woodland wander.

The project is led by Devon Wildlife Trust and is a partnership between seven conservation organisations: Dartmoor National Park Authority, Devon Wildlife Trust, Exmoor National Park Authority, Forestry England, National Trust, Somerset Wildlife Trust and Woodland Trust. Young Devon and Space, Devon based youth charities, are supporting the project to involve young people from a range of backgrounds in project objectives. The project is made possible with support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and with thanks to the National Lottery players. We are also grateful for the support of a number of generous donors and for the expert advice and guidance of Vincent Wildlife Trust, NatureScot and the Zoological Society of London.
