Our Vision

Manifest Woodland Guild dreams of creating spaces for people to encounter and enjoy woodland in transformative ways.

What we believe

We believe that woodland and other natural spaces have a deep effect on the human psyche.

We believe that people are made to live in partnership with the rest of nature.

We believe that making things by hand, and using things made by hand, has a positive effect on our wellbeing.

We believe that as people learn about nature and have enjoyable experiences in nature, they will become motivated to protect it.

We believe that profound learning often takes place outside the classroom, and outside formal curriculum frameworks.

We believe that every child can benefit in multiple ways from spending time in wild nature.

We believe that we, as landowners, have a duty to share our land in appropriate ways with the wider community.

We believe that connecting with nature is a profound way to deepen our spirituality.
