Children Enjoy Fantastic Day At Evergreen Forest School

Children and volunteers from Rosegrove Neighbourhood Watch enjoyed a fantastic day at Evergreen Forest School, West Bradford, on Sunday 7th June 2026.

The trip provided local children with the opportunity to explore the outdoors, learn about nature, meet animals, discover woodland habitats and take part in a range of exciting hands-on activities. Throughout the day, children enjoyed woodland adventures and wildlife habitats and developed new skills through outdoor learning.
​

One of the highlights of the day was the opportunity for children to take part in open-fire cooking activities, where they learned how to safely prepare and cook food outdoors. The children worked together to make their own homemade fruit crumble and freshly prepared pizzas, which were cooked and enjoyed around the forest school site. These activities encouraged teamwork, confidence, independence and practical life skills while helping children connect with nature.

The visit formed part of Rosegrove Neighbourhood Watch's ongoing commitment to supporting the wellbeing, development and life opportunities of children and young people across the local community.

Rosegrove Neighbourhood Watch would like to extend its sincere thanks to the dedicated volunteers who helped make the day such a success. Their time, enthusiasm and commitment ensured that all the children had a safe, enjoyable and memorable experience.

Special thanks are also extended to the team at Evergreen Forest School for their warm welcome, excellent activities and continued support throughout the day.

The trip was made possible thanks to the support of our funders and partners, including:
• Burnley, Pendle & Rossendale CVS
• Social Prescribing for East Lancashire
• NHS Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board

A spokesperson for Rosegrove Neighbourhood Watch said:

"It was wonderful to see children enjoying the outdoors, learning new skills and building confidence in a natural environment. The open-fire cooking activities, homemade crumble and pizza making were a huge success and gave the children a memorable experience that many had never tried before. We are incredibly grateful to our volunteers, Evergreen Forest School and our funders for helping make this day possible."


Rosegrove Neighbourhood Watch continues to deliver a wide range of activities for children, young people, families and older residents from its Youth & Community Hub in Rosegrove, helping to reduce isolation, improve wellbeing and bring the community together.
