Connect with Nature in North Shropshire
Hands-On Outdoor Adventures.
At Woodland Roots, we bring people together through bushcraft and nature-based experiences for ages 8 and over. Set in beautiful woodlands near Oswestry—or delivered at your own site—our sessions are designed to inspire confidence, curiosity, and connection.
Whether you’re learning to light your first fire, build a shelter, or use tools safely, every experience is hands-on, practical, and tailored to your group. From schools and youth groups to team-building days and birthday adventures, we create sessions that are as enjoyable as they are enriching.
