Woodcraft, Wellbeing & Leadership
Programme

This autumn, we’re excited to welcome young people back to Bristol Tree Craft for another 8-week Woodcraft, Wellbeing & Leadership programme, delivered in partnership with OTR.

In a relaxed, non-judgemental space, you’ll have the chance to:

Learn practical craft skills
Connect with nature
Explore your strengths, passions and curiosities

Each week will be different, whether that’s learning to carve a spatula to cook something delicious over the fire with, or planting your own tree along with an intention for yourself. There will be tools & tips to support your wellbeing, as well endless snacks/refreshments, craft games to play and some very friendly pigs to scratch!

The team at Bristol Tree Craft will make sure you have everything you need to feel safe & comfortable, supported by OTR Nature Works.

Sessions will run from 2pm – 5pm on Wednesday afternoons at Bristol Tree Craft, Bridge Farm, Glenfrome Road BS16 1BQ.

The first session will take place on Wednesday 1st October and will run for 8 consecutive weeks. The final session will be on Wednesday 19th November. Ideally it’d be great if you can make every session.
