We believe woods are the world's best playgrounds. They spark imaginations, inspire a love of the natural world, and help to create happy memories you'll have for a lifetime.
So have a go at these activities and enjoy some quality time outdoors with your family.
Whether you're building a shelter to protect you from the elements or a secret hide where you can watch wildlife, den building is a fun activity the whole family can enjoy together. Not sure where to start? Read our den building guide to discover our top tips.
And remember, only gather branches and sticks that have fallen to the ground. Please don't break them off trees.
Do your kids get excited about bird watching or love getting up close to creepy crawlies? Woods are teeming with wildlife, so there's no better place for young nature lovers to explore. And our pocket-sized wildlife ID books will come in handy when you're trying to identify what you've spotted.
Scavenger hunts are an exciting way to get children exploring the natural world. They are also a great way to add fun to family walks. The possibilities are endless:
Check out our scavenger hunt blog for more ideas.
Woods are full of natural craft materials. Keep your eyes peeled for fallen leaves, petals, sticks and pebbles, then get creative with some woodland art.
You could build a tower out of twigs, make a pattern using colourful petals, or even make funny faces on the woodland floor.
Food tastes so much better out of doors, and for kids its a real adventure. So next time you head to the woods, why not have an alfresco feast?
Many of our woods have beautiful views and stunning scenery. Leafy trees also provide plenty of sun dappled, shady spots to enjoy a picnic in the summer months.
So pack up your picnic basket with some yummy food and a blanket and head out to find your perfect picnic spot.
We look after more than 1,000 woods across the UK - from tiny urban oases to beautiful ancient woodlands.
