Events during Members' Week

Members' Morning

Monday 12 October, 9.30am until 11.30am

Join us in the cafe for a relaxed morning with fellow Forestry England members. Meet like-minded people, share your Forestry England story, discover what membership means to others, and celebrate the important role members play in caring for our nation's forests. Whether you've been a member for years or have recently joined, we'd love to hear your story.

Free Ranger Led Walks

Tuesday 13 October 10am | Friday 16 October 10am

Join our Rangers for an exclusive Members' Week guided walk and discover more about the wildlife, history and day-to-day management of Alice Holt Forest. Learn about the work that goes into caring for the forest, from conservation and habitat management to welcoming visitors and protecting this special place for future generations. The walk will cover approximately 3km at a gentle pace and is suitable for most abilities. Please meet outside the Visitor Centre before the walk begins.

Being a member gives me easy access through all seasons of the year and at the same time helps to support something which gives me a lot of enjoyment and supports my own mental wellbeing.

[Membership] enables me to just escape to the woods whenever I need to - a walk through the trees helps me get back to me. We love being in the woods, and having a membership means we can just pop in whenever we like.
