Celebrate Wild Child Day at Ardan Wood on Saturday, August 23rd, 2025, as part of Heritage Week 2025! This special evening event begins at 6:30 PM at the roadside parking area at Ardan Wood and is designed for children, young people, and their families.
The evening features a woodland nature-crafting workshop followed by enchanting folklore and storytelling around a campfire — all set beneath the ancient woodland canopy. It’s a fun and meaningful way to inspire the next generation of woodland guardians and help them connect with the natural world.
Facilitated by Jeremy Casey of the Native Woodland Trust, alongside Jan Koutsky and Dr. Sheena Burke, the event is free to attend, with optional small donations welcome to help cover materials. Any surplus will go toward on-site conservation efforts at Ardan Wood.
This magical evening promises creativity, connection, and conservation — all in one unforgettable outdoor experience.
