Build your own … forest

Throughout England’s history, people have always been connected to forests, whether they lived in a palace, castle, abbey or village. Forests provided timber for building houses and firewood to keep warm, while kings and queens hunted among the trees.

What will your forest look like? Which trees, flowers, bushes and plants will you have? What animals will call it home? Follow the trail (one of four World Builder Challenge trails at our sites) and come up with your own answers.

Find out more about the World Builder Challenge trails and where you can find them.
