A space to feel better, learn differently and reconnect with nature

Your local woodland

Laurel's Wood is a woodland space in Formby where children, families and groups can step away from busy routines and experience something different.

Through Forest School, play and shared outdoor experiences, we help children build confidence, improve wellbeing and develop a stronger connection to the world around them.

A space where children can feel more confident, families can slow down, and people can reconnect with nature.

Trusted by local schools and organisations across the region.
