Whittling in the Woods

During this Youth Ranger session we will be joined by a local wood carver who will be introducing simple wood carving techniques to the group. It is open to anyone living in Luton or Bedfordshire who are aged 12-18yrs old.

We will meet at the far end of the narrow car parking area at the Inspire Leisure Centre, between the swimming pool and main road. From here it is a short walk to Hay Wood, on Stopsley Common, where we will set up a fire and seating before any carving starts.

Tools, refreshments and safety gloves will be provided to all those attending. It is a great chance to meet other young people interested in the natural environment, to learn new skills and to explore a variety of green spaces.

Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy boots, no experience is required just some enthusiasm and willingness to join in. Staff are on hand throughout the session and do contact us before this event if you have any queries. If you have not attended a Youth Ranger session before there is a parental permission form to complete for those aged under 18.
