Welcome
We are a constituted, voluntary run community group. We aim to increase involvement in forestry and conservation activities for all ages in Central and South Somerset.
- We provide a variety of opportunities in woodlands and other ‘wild’ places ; forest school and woodland playschemes, family learning sessions, forestry and conservation, adult training, woodland and camp craft, environmental education and creative workshops.
- We welcome volunteers and run regular forestry and conservation days to manage the woodlands which our group uses.
- We hope that these opportunities to connect with and learn about nature will help reduce some of the adverse affects that a sedentary, technology dependent life style can have on our physical and emotional well being.
“Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit” Edward Abbey
“In wilderness is the preservation of the world” Thoreau

Special note: We are currently experiencing difficulties obtaining planning permission for our shed and access in the woodland at Charlton Mackrell. If anyone can support us with a letter or sign our petition or log onto the link below and vote for updating the definition of forestry http://yourfreedom.hmg.gov.uk/repealing-unnecessary-laws/update-definition-of-forestry-to-include-community-and-educational-use/idea-view we would appreciate it.
We also now have a Hallr Wood facebook page
