Now, the important Living Derwent Forest programme development work carried out by the team behind Derwent Connections to map out these opportunities is being delivered on the ground, with many more hectares of habitat being created.

Some of Gloucestershire’s biggest companies are headquartered in the Forest of Dean, particularly in the manufacturing fields, including Lucozade Ribena Suntory – which makes a billion bottles of drinks every year at its factory in Coleford; Kalex Films in Cinderford; paper manufacturer Glatfelter in Lydney and tyre producer and distributor Watts of Lydney.

When drawing cards it’s a push your luck situation, as you can only draw 2 solitary symbols before you loose the ability to use a second action that round.I’ve always wanted to look more deeply into the forest’s complex web of life, to know more about plants and other organisms I was seeing.

As a girl born and raised in the country, literally with an entire forested mountain as my backyard, I have to say it is one of my most favorite places to live.

You can even pay for “forest therapy,” and the Japanese have a whole term for the activity of soaking in the forest (Shinrin-yoku, literally translated “forest bathing.

We see so many animals, trees, insects and birds that we understand how they are interdependent and how habitat decline affects all the forest denizens. The great aspect is your kids will be able to build a real treehouse headquarters and will (we assure you) spend 95% of their time in there.Keeping back the natural foliage of the forest can be an issue, depending on how far into the forest you wish to make your home.
