Forest Festival 2023

In September 2023 we held our first ever Forest Festival

In 2023 Cumbria Woodlands presented their first-ever Forest Festival at the Westmorland Show. Teaming up with partners and businesses, there were stalls, seminars and demonstrations all in one place at the show. We firmly put forestry on the agenda at this hugely popular show and showed how bringing the sector together in one place can have a huge impact.
