About the project

Project contact: Charlie@teamviy.com

VIY will be transforming an overgrown and neglected woodland area into a vibrant and inclusive sensory trail and garden, alongside a dedicated forest school space for local young people and vulnerable adults to enjoy for years to come.

Once a thriving outdoor area, the space fell into disuse during the COVID period due to limited funding and capacity. We’re now bringing it back to life with a full renovation — including the construction of new timber planters, the creation of an accessible bark pathway, and the installation of sensory boards, bug hotels, and other interactive features designed to stimulate and inspire.
