We are professional in our approach to what we do and we currently operate from two locations in the Chilterns: our secure private site on estate woodland near Princes Risborough: where we have exclusive use of the site; and at Wendover Woods, which is managed by the Forestry Commission. Green School operates there under an exclusive permit (Number 7157), to run bushcraft activity sessions, childrens adventure parties and alternative curriculum activities for schools and groups on the Forestry Commission's behalf. We also offer corporate day activities in conjunction with the Cafe in the Woods and Go Ape (who also use the site at Wendover). |
