What the charity does

The charity seeks to advance public education in aspects of the Pre-Roman and Saxon periods through a practical ('hands-on') approach, enabling children and young adults to learn about their heritage and how early communities lived together; we maintain a forest site using traditional techniques, and invite participants to spend time exploring, learning and using these techniques.
