Happy Birthday!

This year marks GreenWood's 15th Birthday and the Park has evolved tremendously over the last 15 years.  From its beginnings as a Educational Centre in 1993 it has grown to meet the needs of its visitors and in 2004 changed its name to GreenWood Forest Park when it became a Family Adventure Park.  Through all of the changes, GreenWood has never lost sight of the importance of Sustainability, Environmental awareness and the promise to reduce its Carbon Footpint where possible. 

On the 26th June, one month after the official birthday, GreenWood’s Managing Directors Stephen and Andrea Bristow held a Strawberries and Pimm’s afternoon.  As a thank you they invited the people that had contributed to the last 15 years of growth at the Park.

Please see some of the work we do by checking out our Green Page.

And out of the trees they appeared......

Bank Holiday Monday welcomed The Green Man and Mother Nature to GreenWood.  The amazing stilt walkers greeted people on the Park as they spent a day packed with loads of extra fun.

Even Harley; GreenWoods resident rabbit, took a moment to say hello!

The Fairyland Trust travelled all the way from Norfolk to be with us on Tuesday and Wednesday and ran wonderful magic Wand and butterfly Wing workshops in their pretty tent.  If any one has photos of their Wings and Wands, we'd love to see them!  Email them to us at info@greenwoodforestpark.co.uk

Here's a pic of Megan Prichard with her 'Lookachu' Tattoo on her visit to the Park with Nain and Taid on a sunny Friday during Whitsun.

 

 

 

 

 

The daily post hatches a little surprise!

 A mother Blue Tit has decided that the letter box of Ty Coed at GreenWood makes a much more comfortable nest for her chicks, than up a tree!  The fledglings will soon be old enough to fly the nest and may even return to the letter box next year!

 

Ty Coed’s mail has been redirected for the near future.

May Day Bank Holiday weekend at GreenWood was a huge success, welcoming many families who were delighted to see the sun shining at last!  Although there were a few showery moments on Sunday, no one was put off and the sun finally came back out to play.

A May Pole appeared especially for the weekend; and everyone who had ‘spring’ in their feet had a go!

Joining us on Saturday were the Caernarfonshire Girl Guides who were taking part in their County Camp in Caeathro near Caernarfon.  The girls took to the Mini May Pole Dancing like naturals!

Portugese Visit to GreenWood

The Park was recently visited by delegates from Portugal who came to Wales on a special fact finding mission for one full day only.

Jorge Lira, who is an architect in Portugal came to Wales with his family 4 years ago and visited GreenWood as part of the tourist trail and was amazed to have discovered such a place.  ‘Stephen Bristow’s ideas behind GreenWood have inspired me and many things I have learnt about during my visit, I will take back to Portugal.’

‘The Parque Ibérico de Natureza e Aventura (translated means 'Iberia Nature & Adventure Park') in which I am involved, will be on a much larger scale; phase one will take up nearly 100 hectares.  The whole concept of GreenWood has been inspiring indeed!’
