Scarborough-based organisation Raincliffe Wood Community Enterprise welcomes you to The Secret Wood.
It's a celebration of Raincliffe Woods and the Forge Valley Nature Reserve on Saturday 20th August, from 11am to 5pm.
There will be a range of family friendly activities, from traditional coppice crafts to have a go archery, guided walks to storytelling. It is also an opportunity to learn more about the history of the woodland, its management and the plants and animals that call it home. As well as this, there will also be live music and performances throughout the day.
This event is part of the Scarborough’s Wonderful Woodlands project, which has been funded by the National Lottery Community Fund to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Gillian Astbury, Events and Outreach Officer at Raincliffe Wood Community Enterprise, said:
“This is an exciting event to really showcase Raincliffe Woods and its importance to the local community. We want to encourage local people to explore the woods, learn more about its history and become invested in its future.
"Most importantly, we want people to enjoy being outside in this amazing place."
"As well as this year being the Platinum Jubilee, it also marks the 70th Anniversary of the first National Nature Reserve. We are very proud of the fact that the Forge Valley is a National Nature Reserve due to its incredible biodiversity, and as such are delighted that this event is part of Natural England’s Festival of National Nature Reserves.
"I would like to say a massive thank you to all our partner groups, the local businesses and organisations that are helping to support this event, and to National Lottery players who have made it all possible."
