We (Jodie and Jordan) have been working to regenerate Tangier Wood, a 10 acre semi-ancient woodland, since 2016.

As a DofE Gold Participant you’ll play a hands-on role in supporting the re-growth and health of Tangier Wood’s native tree species and natural habitats.

You’ll have a fully immersive, off-grid experience – empowered with freedom of action to build the confidence and capabilities to sustain yourself and the woodland resources.

• Develop your outdoor skills to live comfortably off-grid
• Learn about woodland management and conservation
• Undertake different methods of sustainable woodland management
• Make tools in our woodland blacksmithing forge
• Skin a deer with our Licensed Game Keeper
• Have a crack at axe-throwing and archery on our purpose-built ranges
• Pick up bonus skills such as tracking and ground sign awareness, and natural navigation.

All evening meals provided – hot and cooked communally.  You will need to bring your own camping equipment for the 5 days, your own food for your 4x breakfasts and 5x lunches, any/all cooking kit and equipment you need to make your own breakfasts and lunches.

You’ll be camping in the wood for the five days with plenty of time to relax, cook and socialise around the fire. Natural composting toilets and solar showers.
