Working with nature
|
Neroche Woodlanders is a social enterprise based at Young Wood, one hundred acres of magical and beautiful forest on the edge of the Blackdown Hills near Taunton in Somerset.
Young Wood is a wild, inspiring place where nature is our setting, our muse and our guide. We work with that nature to improve people's lives, while making the woods richer for wildlife. We encourage children, young people, adults, families and organisations to learn about the nature around them, to find their own place in the world, to build connections with others and to experience a deeper connection with their own wild nature. Through all of this we aim to celebrate the beauty and diversity of this Earth and to do our part to help care for it. |
"Your work is inspirational and such a good example of diverse partners coming together and innovating in the care and support of vulnerable people. Hugely down to your energy and commitment I’m sure. It’s been a pleasure to learn about you and I wish you the very best for Neroche Woodlanders and all who sail in her."

COVID 19 and our Sessions
Our actions are based on latest advice from the Government and NHS and will be checked daily. We will continue to run SOME sessions until the advice is not to.
We have cancelled Young Saplings (from March 20th) and are reviewing our other Families sessions. If you are an essential worker, your child is classed as vulnerable or has an EHCP then we may be able to offer new sessions over the coming weeks. Please sign up for our newsletter t hear about these.
We perceive that bringing people into the woods, whilst maintaining good hygiene, helps to boost immunity and wellbeing and thus is one tool to help mitigate against severe symptoms.
PHE recommends that the best way to reduce any risk of infection is good hygiene and avoiding direct or close contact (closer than 2 metres) with any potentially infected person. To minimise risk please stay away from the woods if you/your child has a high temperature or new continuous cough. If in doubt, please phone us before coming.
