www.VisitWoods.org.uk, is a new interactive website showcasing all the woods you can visit in Scotland and across the UK. Share your favourite woods online, and be part of something big…
VisitWoods aims to encourage more people to get out and enjoy all that our woodland has to offer. At the heart of the project is www.VisitWoods.org.uk.
Part of a unique collaboration between all the major woodland owning organisations in Scotland, the project will give people living in Scotland the opportunity to discover the woods on their doorstep and enjoy the outdoors more often.
Woods are fantastic places to spend time and experience nature, whatever the season, but many people don’t know where to go and how to get the most from their visit.
The website is packed with everything you need to plan a great day out, including searchable maps, inspiring ideas and free activities plus there’s space for visitors to share their photos and tips.
But they need your help! This exciting project needs enthusiastic people to share their stories, comments, photographs, ideas and even rate their favourite woods on the website.
“Sharing personal experiences of the woods we love to visit and what they have to offer will make a real difference to people who have never been before. Personal content will hopefully encourage more people to get outside and enjoy the wonders of Scotland’s woodland through the seasons,” said Carol Evans, Woodland Trust Scotland Director.
Be part of something big! Uploading your photos and comments is really simple. Just go to www.VisitWoods.org.uk, find your favourite wood and add your reviews and images to our blog or photo gallery. Who knows, you may even discover a new wood yourself!
