Hazel Hill Trust’s charitable aim is to promote wellbeing, resilience and sustainability: for individuals, society and the natural world.
Combining wildlife, wellbeing and education, this peaceful, ancient woodland welcomes people of all ages to benefit from time spent here.
The programmes, activities and events we run at Hazel Hill Wood are the main ways the Trust meets its charitable aim. We are working hard to increase what we offer to reach more people.
Volunteer Programme
Our volunteer programme includes a variety of volunteering opportunities: two practical volunteer days per month, one-off projects for regular volunteers, admin behind-the-scenes, event crew roles and wildlife surveying.
Educational Wildlife Activities
Our educational wildlife activities are a fun and interactive way to learn about nature in a woodland habitat. Come along for a Moth Morning, join an evening Bat Walk, or help us record as many species as we can at our annual summer BioBlitz weekend.
Youth Education & Wellbeing
We welcome youth groups for day trips and residentials, including Young Carers, Community Youth Groups, Home Educated Groups, Scouts and School trips. We also run Parent & Toddler Forest School, and Wildlife & Bushcraft sessions during school holidays for families.
Adult Wellbeing
Our woodland is a private, peaceful, secluded site making it an ideal place to fully immerse yourself in nature. We currently run Nature & Wellbeing Weekends for adults, and we host many wellbeing events run by trusted partner organisations. In the past we have run Green Prescription wellbeing programmes, and we hope to run these again soon.
Seasonal Conservation Weekends
People from near and far join us for a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Stay in one of our rustic accommodation buildings from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon and take part in various conservation related activities around the woodland. Suitable for the whole family.
