Join us for a day of discovery at FSC Amersham, looking at what the woods have in store. We will be searching for the edible wild foods to be found all around us and learning how to safely and sustainably forage wild plants in our beautiful woodlands.
Please bring a packed lunch with you.

The Five Ways to Wellbeing is a set of evidence-based public mental health messages aimed at improving the mental health and wellbeing of the whole population. They were developed by NEF (the New Economics Foundation). The Five Ways to Wellbeing have been used across the UK since their launch in 2008. This provides a common language for FSC to communicate our contribution to Wellbeing.
