Big Forest Picnic

A big THANK YOU to everyone who went down to the woods on Saturday 20 August for WWF's Big Forest Picnic, a UK-wide event organised in partnership with VisitWoods and Progressio.

At seven events around the UK from Devon to Livingston in Scotland people celebrated forests by enjoying storytelling, natural art, woodland walks, music and more, and learning how we can all help protect forests by choosing FSC certified wood and paper.
