Since January 2018, Nature Explorers has been based within an enclosed area of woodland in the Anglo-Saxon Village at West Stow. This will be our permanent site, with a fire pit, log circle and various activities based here. We will continue to make use of the beautiful setting of the country park surrounding the village, which includes areas of breckland, heath, deciduous forest, pine forest, a river and a lake. Along the way, we will explore the new Beowulf and Grendel trail, and embrace the incredible history of the site. The children will be encouraged to care for the site, by learning conservation and woodland management skills, helping to look after the local wildlife, including chickens and pigs, and helping to maintain the vegetable garden. As we develop the site, they will be able to shape the area themselves, by making furniture, tools and shelters. 

All parents attending with their children will need to wear a wristband or lanyard (provided by Nature Explorers) to allow them access to and from the site - you will need to have purchased a Heritage Ticket in order to gain entry to the village. See the West Stow website for details of the benefits of a family pass.
