A fun, FREE event for children with Wee Adventures
Come and learn some exciting Bushcraft skills and enjoy other forest fun activities including shelter building, slack lines and other vital skills for survival in our woods! We’ll inspire children’s imaginations, engage the senses and create a sense of wonder in the natural world. By working on a ‘leave no trace’ basis Biscuit nurtures the idea of caring for the environment by thinking green in all our activities.
Places available on a first come first serve basis, so book yours soon. Families bridging the age groups below can pick the session which works best for them.
Book your children’s places here

We are really excited to have Perthshire Society of Natural Science organising this event at Taymount Wood as part of their Nature Summer Outings Programme and we’d love to see you at this free event. Open to All.
Just a love of nature and a curiosity about the birdlife that lives in our woods. No special equipment required but binoculars might be useful if you have them. A mobile phone, camera or notebook may come in handy if you want to record what we hear or see. Fairly easy walking: we are likely to be out for about 2.5 to 3 hours.
Dress for the weather on the day and wear suitable footwear. It may be May and early morning, but think waterproofs, layers, rain hats or sun hats, and walking boots or wellies. Bring your own snacks and something to drink too.
Children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, please.
